Beloved Archangel Raphael – Song 292
BELOVED RAPHAEL – Song 292
Archangel of the Fifth Ray
Raphael,* glorious archangel
Standing in earth’s atmosphere
Blaze thy Light through and around us
That all may God’s pow’r revere.
There in thy radiant splendor
Naught but perfection can live
Speak thy great love through each heartbeat
And, in God’s mercy, forgive.
Refrain:
Raphael dear, our heart’s call do now hear
Consecrate us, each one
To earth’s great vict’ry won
Every heart sings as thy great Presence brings
Healing* in thy bright wings.
We give our all to dear Raphael
That we may heaven regain
With his great love flowing through us
All shall e’er constant remain.
We call to our blest archangel
Hold us e’er peaceful within
As through us he pours his blessing
In us new life will begin.
Raphael, glorious archangel
Bring us thy heavenly peace
As all outpicture thy Christ light
Mankind in grace shall increase.
Blessings and love to thee always
Raphael, from God’s heart, we call
We give our life’s consecration
To thee and archangels all.
