Original text and translations

Latin text Michael archangele, veni in adiutorium populo dei. Gloriosus enim apparuisti in conspectu domini. Propterea decorem induit te deus, veni in adiutorium populo dei.

English translation Michael the Archangel, come to aid the people of God: glorious indeed have you appeared in the sight of the Lord, therefore, God has decked you with adornments.

NB. The correct text for the third line reads: propterea decorem induit te Dominus. The text appears in that form in a 1542 printing of this motet.
