Divine guide, Raphael,
Kindly receive the hymn
Singing our supplications
May our joyful voices dedicate to you.

Lead our race to salvation,
Support our steps;
That we would never wander on an adventure
Far from the path to Heaven.

Look at us from above,
From the sparkling light of Heaven
From the Father of Lights,
Fill our souls.

Restore health to the sick,
Dispel the night of the blind;
By chasing the ailments of the body

Restore vigor to hearts.

Assistant the Sovereign Judge,
Plead the cause of our crimes,
And appease the vengeful anger,
Faithful intercessor with the Divinity.

You who have resumed the Great Fight,
Confound the proud Enemy;
Against rebellious spirits
Give us the strength,
increase Grace in us.

Glory to God the Father
As well as to his Only Son,
With the Paraclete Spirit,
Now and for ever and ever.
Amen
