Kontakion 7

Wanting to show that the fortunes of men are not dependent upon themselves, but are always held in His divine hand, the Maker of all has given you to the kingdoms of the earth as defender and keeper, that you may prepare all the tribes and peoples for the Kingdom of God in eternity. Beholding your great service for the salvation of mankind, we rightfully cry to God in thanksgiving: Alleluia.

Ikos 7

The Creator and Master of all miracles has shown us a new miracle on earth through you, Chief Angel, when you miraculously saved the church built in honor of your name from being flooded with the waters of the river. You commanded the rising stream to turn back into the bosom of the earth, at the sight of which the blessed Archipus together with his spiritual children cried to you in thanksgiving:

Hail, indestructible rampart of the Holy Church of God.

Hail, glorious Commander in service to God's people.

Hail, you at whose behest the elements are subdued.

Hail, you by whom all evil intents are brought to nothing.

Hail, from the Throne of the Almighty God, you bring joy to all the faithful.

Hail, for you lead unbelievers to the path of justice and truth.

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