Every year, when I see signs of Autumn around me, I start humming this song that we used to sing at Michaelmas and I thought I’d share it with you.
In Autumn Saint Micheal with sword and with shield
He passes over meadow and orchard and field
He’s on the path to battle ‘gainst darkness and strife
He is the heavenly warrior, protector of life.
…………………………………….
We are Saint Michael’s warriors with strong heart and mind,
We forge our way through darkness Saint Michaels to find
And there he stands in glory, Saint Michael we pray,
Lead us on to battle and show us the way.
