Akathist to Archangel Michael
Kontakion 4
Supreme ruler of the angels, deliver us, who keep your radiant feast with joy, from all the storms of temptation and trouble. Be our mighty helper in every affliction and our preserver and defender in the hour of death, so that we may cry aloud to our Lord and our Lady: Alleluia.
Ikos 4
Seeing your boldness against the regiments of Satan, all the ranks of angels followed after you with joy into the fight for the Name and glory of their Master, crying aloud, “Who is like unto God?” In the same manner, seeing Satan cast down beneath your feet, we cry to you as victor:
Hail, you by whom peace and quiet returned to Heaven.
Hail, you by whom the spirit of evil was laid low even unto hell.
Hail, for you direct the angelic armies and the hosts of the invisible world to the destruction of evil.
Hail, unseen leader, for you calm the agitation and fighting of the elements of the unseen world.
Hail, wonderful defender of those waging war against the spirits of evil.
Hail, strong helper of those on earth grown weak through the temptations and assaults of the world.
Hail, Michael, Supreme Commander with all the hosts of Heaven
