Our Friends, the Archangels

Angels as slightly chubby little figures with wings
We will miss the majesty of this day
The Scripture tells us who this mighty archangels are

It was St. Michael who commanded God’s legions of angels
And cast Satan out from heaven
It was St. Gabriel who brought to Mother Mary the good news
The coming of our Savior
It was St. Raphael who healed Tobit
Delivered his daughter-in-law from a demon

These angels do great, holy works in God’s name
They also gladly watch over us
In the next life
We will mingle among them
As brothers and sisters
Praising God together with one voice
How blest we are to call them friends
