Around the throne of God a band
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #791 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Michael and All Angels Lyrics: 1 Around the throne of God a band
of glorious angels ever stand;
bright things they see, sweet harps they hold,
and on their heads are crowns of gold.
2 Some wait around him, ready still
to sing his praise and do his will;
and some, when he commands them, go
to guard his servants here below.
3 Lord, give thy angels every day
command to guide us on our way,
and bid them every evening keep
their watch around us while we sleep.
4 So shall no wicked thing draw near,
to do us harm or cause us fear;
and we shall dwell, when life is past,
with angels round thy throne at last.
Scripture: Psalm 91:11 Languages: English Tune Title: SOLOTHURN

Songs of praise the angels sang
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #792 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Michael and All Angels Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
heaven with alleluias rang,
when creation was begun,
when God spake and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn
when the Prince of peace was born;
songs of praise arose when he
captive led captivity.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away;
songs of praise shall crown that day:
God will make new heavens and earth;
songs of praise shall hail their birth.
4 And will man alone be dumb
till that glorious kingdom come?
No, the church delights to raise
psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
still in songs of praise rejoice;
learning here, by faith and love,
songs of praise to sing above.
6 Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto thee we raise,
Jesu, glory unto thee,
with the Spirit, ever be.

Before Jehovah's awful throne
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #793 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Michael and All Angels Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's aweful throne,
ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
know that the Lord is God alone:
he can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
made us of clay, and formed us men;
and, when like wandering sheep we strayed,
he brought us to his fold again.
3 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,
high as the heavens our voices raise;
and earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
4 Wide as the world is thy command,
vast as eternity thy love;
firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
when rolling years shall cease to move. Scripture: Psalm 100 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 100TH

ruler of all, and author of creation,
grant us in mercy grace to win by patience
joys everlasting.
2 Send thine archangel Michael from thy presence:
peacemaker blessèd, may he hover o'er us,
hallow our dwellings, that for us thy children
all things may prosper.
3 Send thine archangel, Gabriel the mighty;
on strong wings flying, may he come from heaven,
drive from thy temple Satan the old foeman,
succour our weakness.
4 Send thine archangel, Raphael the healer:
through him with wholesome medicines of salvation
heal our backsliding, and in paths of goodness
guide our steps daily.
5 Father almighty, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Godhead eternal, grant us our petition;
thine be the glory through the whole creation
now and for ever.

Christ, the fair glory of the holy angels
Life and strength of all thy servants
Author: Rabanus Maurus, 776-856 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #795 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Michael and All Angels Lyrics: 1 Life and strength of all thy servants,
brightness of the Father’s light;
men with angels, earth with heaven,
in thy praise their songs unite.
2 Thousand thousand warrior princes
in thine angel army stand;
flames the victor cross before them,
grasped in Michael’s dauntless hand.
3 Hurling back from heaven the rebels
with the lifting of his sword,
in the might of God he tramples
on the dragon’s head abhorred.
4 Lord of Angels, Christ, we pray thee,
bid them aid us in our strife,
chase afar the hosts of evil,
till we reach the land of life.
5 God the Father, God Immortal,
God the Son, for us who died,
God the Comforter, the Spirit,
evermore be glorified! Languages: English Tune Title: HARTING

O ye immortal throng of angels round the throne
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751; Charles Price, 1920-1999 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #796 (2010) Meter: 12.12.8.8 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Michael and All Angels Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT'S 148TH
O ye immortal throng of angels round the throne
Praise to God who reigns above
Author: Richard Meux Benson, 1824-1915 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #797 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Michael and All Angels Lyrics: 1 Praise to God who reigns above
binding earth and heaven in love;
all the armies of the sky
worship his dread sovereignty.
2 Seraphim his praises sing,
cherubim on fourfold wing,
thrones, dominions, princes, powers,
marshalled might that never cowers.
3 Speeds the archangel from his face,
bearing messages of grace;
angel hosts his words fulfil,
ruling nature by his will.
4 Yet on man thy joy to wait,
all that bright celestial state,
for in Man their Lord they see,
Christ, the incarnate deity.
5 On the throne their Lord who died
sits in Manhood glorified;
where his people faint below
angels count it joy to go.
6 O the depths of joy divine,
thrilling through those orders nine,
when the lost are found again,
when the banished come to reign!
7 Now in faith, in hope, in love,
we will join the choirs above,
praising, with the heavenly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Languages: English Tune Title: XAVIER
Praise to God who reigns above
Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright
Author: Joseph the Hymnographer, died 883; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #798 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Michael and All Angels Lyrics: 1 Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright,
filled with celestial resplendence and light,
these that, where night never followeth day,
raise the Trisagion ever and aye:
2 these are thy counsellors, these dost thou own,
Lord God of Sabaoth, nearest thy throne;
these are thy ministers, these dost thou send,
help of the helpless ones, us to defend.
*3 These keep the guard amid Salem's dear bowers;
thrones, principalities, virtues, and powers;
where, with the living ones, mystical four,
cherubim, seraphim bow and adore.
4 'Who like the Lord?' thunders Michael the Chief;
Raphael, 'the Cure of God', comforteth grief;
and, as at Nazareth, prophet of peace,
Gabriel, 'the Light of God', bringeth release.
5 Then, when the earth was first poised in mid-space,
then, when the planets first sped on their race,
then, when were ended the six days’ employ,
then all the Sons of God shouted for joy.
6 Still let them succor us; still let them fight,
Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right;
till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour,
we with the angels may bow and adore. Languages: English Tune Title: TRISAGION
Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright
Ye holy angels bright
Author: Richard Baxter, 1615-1691; John Hampden Gurney, 1802-1862 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #799 (2010) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. Michael and All Angels Lyrics: 1 Ye holy angels bright,
who wait at God's right hand,
or through the realms of light
fly at your Lord's command,
assist our song,
for else the theme
too high doth seem
for mortal tongue.
2 Ye blessèd souls at rest,
who ran this earthly race,
and now, from sin released,
behold the Saviour's face,
his praises sound,
as in his sight
with sweet delight
ye do abound.
3 Ye saints who toil below,
adore your heavenly King,
and onward as ye go
some joyful anthem sing;
take what he gives
and praise him still,
through good and ill,
who ever lives.
4 My soul, bear thou thy part,
triumph in God above,
and with a well-tuned heart
sing thou the songs of love.
Let all thy days
till life shall end,
whate'er he send,
be filled with praise. Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALLS' 148TH
Ye holy angels bright
