Firmly on the earth I stand

A Michaelmas-round with ostinato bass

Firmly on the earth I stand;
Michaëls sword within my hand;

When I conquer fear,
The dragon's chains I tightly bind;
Michaël's light within my mind;

When I thrust against the monster's pride,
Michaël is at my side.

Ostinato (herhalend) bas:

When I conquer within me fear and wrath,
Michaël in heav'n casts the dragon forth.

De ostinato-baspartij is voor de bovenbouw.
