Supreme commanders of the armies of Heaven,/ we, the unworthy, do ever entreat you,/ that by your prayers ye ever surround us/ with the protection of the wings of your immaterial glory,/ preserving us that earnestly fall down before you and cry aloud:/ Deliver us from misfortunes,// in that ye are the leaders of the hosts on high.
