Consurgat, Domine, Michael Archangelus in tempore hoc turbulento,
qui stet pro filiis populi sui contra draconem furoris infesti.

O Michael, coelestis militiae signifer,
in adjutorium nostrum veni,
princeps ac propugnator inclite.

May Michael the Archangel arise, O Lord, in this turbulent time,
who stands for the sons of his people against the dragon of raging hostility.

O Michael, standard-bearer of the heavenly host,
come to our aid,
illustrious prince and defender.
