Akathist to Archangel Michael

Kontakion 3

Archangel Michael, you show within yourself unconquerable zeal for service and dedication to the glory of our God. As the head of the choirs of angels, you withstood the arrogant daystar Satan – who was exceedingly proud and breathing out evil when he and his dark servants had been cast down into the nethermost parts of the world. Whereas the heavenly hosts, led by you in your glory, shouted as with one voice for joy before the Throne of God: Alleluia.

Ikos 3

All Christian people have you, Archangel of God, as a mighty defender and helper in battle against the adversary. Wishing to be granted your marvelous protection, we call to you on the day of your solemn feast in this way:

Hail, you by whom Satan was cast down like lightning from Heaven.

Hail, you by whom humanity-preserved rises up to Heaven.

Hail, splendid adornment of the most radiant world on high.

Hail, most glorious defender of the fallen world here below.

Hail, never-defeated by the forces of evil.

Hail, forever-established by divine grace in truth and righteousness with all of God's angels.

Hail, Michael, Supreme Commander with all the hosts of Heaven.
