ARCHANGEL MICHAEL

 

Archangel Michael

Lucifer’s nemesis

Angelic warrior

In the war in heaven

Protector against

The dark of night

MICHAELMAS DAY

 

Feast of the Archangels

As the autumn equinox nears

Michaelmas marks the turning

RADIANT LIGHT OF THE WORLD

 

Radiant light of the world

Oh most divine child of love

Joyous redeemer

HE STOOD IN THE COLD CRISP NIGHT

Imagining such a perfect night sky

Two thousand years before

Live in the light

For although they

Are out of sight

Both day and night

As they walk among us

The Angels of the light

Hell does not have to be

A fiery pit of brimstone

Hell is merely

The absence of God

CANDLE OF HIS LIGHT

 

Candle of His light

Cast your goodness

In your steady glow

Across the sinful world

And bath us in love
