Akathist to Archangel Michael

Kontakion 6

You have announced beforehand the judgments of God when, in former times, at the sight of you, Mannah was filled with fear and perplexity, thinking that he would no longer live. However, taught by his wife of the goodness of the vision, and the gentleness of your words, at the joy of having a son, Samson, who was about to be born, he cried out to God in thanksgiving: Alleluia.

Ikos 6

You have shone forth wonderfully, Archangel Michael, when in the form of a man you stood before Joshua, son of Nun, saying, “Take off your shoes, for I am the Supreme Commander of the hosts of the Lord.” Marveling at this, we sing to you:

Hail, untiring guardian of leaders, rulers and governments.

Hail, for you are swift to overthrow those standing with authority as they oppose the command of God.

Hail, for you repel the mighty wave of popular tumult.

Hail, invisible destroyer of vile customs.

Hail, for you enlighten those in doubt in the hour of great perplexity.

Hail, for you save all those tried by soul-destroying and false attacks.

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