 Ad Laudes matutinas: saec. X


Tibi, Christe, splendor Patris,
  vita, virtus córdium,
in conspéctu angelórum
  votis, voce psállimus;
alternántes concrepándo
  melos damus vócibus.

Collaudámus venerántes
  ínclitos archángelos,
sed præcípue primátem
  cæléstis exércitus,
Michaélem in virtúte
  conteréntem Sátanam.

Quo custóde procul pelle,
  rex Christe piíssime,
omne nefas inimíci;
  mundos corde et córpore
paradíso redde tuo
  nos sola cleméntia.

Glóriam Patri melódis
  personémus vócibus,
glóriam Christo canámus,
  glóriam Paráclito,
qui Deus trinus et unus
  exstat ante sæcula. Amen.

To you, O Christ, splendor of the Father, life and strength of hearts, in the presence of the angels, with prayers our voices sing melodies, by turns offering them with our voices.   We praise and venerate all the great archangels, but especially Michael, the primate of the heavenly hosts, by virtue of his crushing Satan.  O Christ our King, with him as guard, drive away all wickedness of the enemy; by your mercy alone return us, cleansed in heart and body, to your paradise. Let us sing hymns with our voices glory to the Father, let us sing glory to Christ, glory to the Paraclete, God, triune and one,  who existed before the ages. Amen.
