Original text and translations
Latin text
Michael, coeli signifer,
Gabriel, mundi lucifer,
Raphael, tres archangeli Christi et omnes angeli,
amantes casta corpora,
nostra per cuncta saecula tuentur ab insidiis hostium et perfidiis.
Hi nos semper custodiant et post mortem suscipiant,
angelorum altissimo laudem canamus Domino.
