O Christ, the glory of the angel choirs!
Author and ruler of the human race!
Grant us one day to climb the happy hills
And see thy blissful face.

And oh, Thou Raphaèl, Physician blest,
Send down to us, from thy celestial height,
To heal our soul's diseases and direct
Our life-long course aright.

Thou too, O Mary, Mother of our God!
And happy Queen of Angels, hither speed,
Drawing with thee the army of the saints,
to help us in our needs.

This grace on us bestow, O Father blest,
And thou, O Son, by an eternal birth;
With thee from both proceeding, Holy Ghost!
Whose glory fills the earth.
