Sons of Michael, He Approaches
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. Sons of Michael, ’tis his chariotRolls its burning wheels along!Raise aloft your voices millionIn a torrent pow’r of song.Hail our head with music soft!Raise sweet melodies aloft!
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 advanceThousands in the glorious dance!
4. Raise a chorus, sons of Michael,Like old ocean’s roaring swell,Till the mighty acclamationThru rebounding space doth tellThat the ancient one doth reignIn his Father’s house again!
