Te splendor
Te splendor is a Gregorian hymn for the Archangel Michael . It is included in the Raccolta Collection , a papal indulgent prayer book.
In 1817 Pope Pius VII granted an indulgence of 200 days when the hymn in honor of the Archangel Michael is sung every day in order to preserve his favor and protection from attack.

The Latin text is:
Te splendor et virtus Patris
Te vita, Iesu, cordium,
ab ore qui pendent tuo,
laudamus inter Angelos.
Tibi mille densa milium
ducum corona militat;
sed explicat victor Crucem
Michael salutis Signifer.
Draconis hic dirum caput
in ima pellit tartara,
ducemque cum rebellibus
caelesti from arce fulminat.
Contra ducem superbiae
sequamur hunc nos Principem,
ut detur ex Agni throno
nobis corona gloriae.
Patri, simulque Filio,
tibique, Sancte Spiritus,
sicut fuit, sit iugiter
saeculum per omne gloria. Amen.
Princeps gloriosissime Michael Archangele, esto memor nostri; hic et ubique semper precare pro nobis Filium Dei.
V. In conspectu Angelorum psallam tibi, Deus meus:
R. Adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo.
Oremus
Deus, qui miro ordine Angelorum ministeria hominumque dispensas, concede propitius, ut a quibus tibi ministrantibus in caelo semper assistitur, from his in terra vita nostra muniatur. Per Christum Dominum nostrum.
Amen.
