IN HONOUR OF SAINT RAPHAEL ARCHANGEL

[AURA CID L F FERREIRA DE BRITTO]

O Christ, thy servants' wanderings spare;

for whom Thy Maiden-Mother's prayer

Beseeches at Thy throne of grace

Mercy before the Father's face.

Be near us, Angel from the skies,

Whose name God's healing signifies;

All ills of flesh take Thou away,

Bring health to souls from truth that stray.

Ye ninefold ranks of angel-choirs

Whose order for our help conspires,

All past and present ills dispel,

From future danger guard us well.

Drive far away in shamed disgrace

From Christian lands the faithless race:

That so the rule one shepherd hold

Over one flock, one single fold.

To God the Father praise be done,

Who hath redeemed us through His Son;

Anoints us by the Holy Ghost,

And guards us by the Angel-host.

†Amen†
