Sons of Michael, He Approaches

Lyrics

1. 1. Sons of Michael, he approaches!

   Rise, the ancient father greet.

   Bow, ye thousands, low before him;

   Minister before his feet.

   Hail the patriarch’s glad reign,

   Spreading over sea and main.

2. 2. Sons of Michael, ’tis his chariot

   Rolls its burning wheels along!

   Raise aloft your voices million

   In a torrent pow’r of song.

   Hail our head with music soft!

   Raise sweet melodies aloft!

3. 3. Mother of our generations,

   Glorious by great Michael’s side,

   Take thy children’s adoration;

   Endless with thy seed abide.

   Lo! to greet thee now advance

   Thousands in the glorious dance!

4. 4. Raise a chorus, sons of Michael,

   Like old ocean’s roaring swell,

   Till the mighty acclamation

   Thru rebounding space doth tell

   That the ancient one doth reign

   In his Father’s house again!
