S. Michael, and all Angels

TO praise, oh GOD, and honour thee,
For all thy glorious Triumphs wonne,
Assembled here this Day are we,
And to declare thy Fauours done:
Thou took'st that great Arch-Angels part,
With whom in Heau'n the Dragon fought,
And that good Armies Friend thou wert,
That cast Him, and his Angels out:

Whereby we now in safety are,
Our dangers all secured from;
For to encrease thy glory here,
Thy Kingdome with great power is come:
And we need stand in dread no more,
Of that enraged Fiends despight,
Who, in thy presence heretofore,
Accused vs both day and night.

In honour of thy blessed Name,
This Hymne of thanks wee therefore sing;
And to thine euerlasting fame,
Through Heau'n thine endlesse praise shall ring:
We praise thee for thy proper might,
And, LORD, for all those Angels to,
Who in thy Battels came to fight,
Or haue beene sent thy will to do.

For, many of that glorious Troope,
To bring vs Messages from Thee,
From Heau'n vouchsafed haue to stoope,
And clad in humane shape to be;
Yea, we beleeue they watch and ward,
About our persons euermore,
From euill Spirits vs to guard;
And we returne thee praise therefore.
