I am not aware of this hymn, but there are several theologic odes to Michael who is identified as a sort of Christian Mars ( as Gabriel was assigned some of Mercury"r roles such as communications) He is identified with the Armed Forces, Police, FBI, that sort of thing, and if you follow the prayer line It seems to suggest he was a sort of theological double agent, who remained faithful to Christ after a possible tie-In with Lucifer! hence the counter-intelligence role. look it up.l

What is the highest degree of exaltation in Mormon religion?

While the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) believes that most people will get to heaven, they believe in three levels (kingdoms or degrees) of heaven: the Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial. The highest kingdom is the Celestial, to which only faithful believers will go. Doctrine and Covenants section 131 also says that within the Celestial kingdom there are another three degrees, but little has been said about them. "The highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom" is considered the highest degree of exaltation. Section 131 says, "In the Celestial Glory there are three heavens or degrees; and in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the Priesthood (meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage); and if he does not, he cannot obtain it. He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase."

What is the highest ranking angel?

As strange as it may sound, the Bible is fairly silent on 'hierarchy' of angels though it mentions 'Seraphim' surrounding God's Throne and Michael, the chief prince of the sons of Man, also the only one called an 'archangel.' This is primarily a man-made concept so see link below:

What is the full account of Saint Michael?

St. Michael, the Archangel, is also a Seraphim, the highest of the angelic orders. Originally, Michael was second to Lucifer before that Archangel's fall from the grace of God. Michael is Prince of the Heavenly Host, the Captain General of God's angelic army. After the Holy Trinity, and St. Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven, St. Michael is next in attendance at the Heavenly throne. In art, Michael is depicted in the armor and shield of a prince or commanding general with drawn sword, with or without a diadem on his forehead. He is sometimes shown triumphant over the supplicant Lucifer, who is depicted as the fallen Satan. Michael is sometimes shown holding the scales of justice. He is invoked by the faithful for protection against the Devil and for a good death. Michael is the patron saint of soldiers, paratroopers, police officers, and grocers. Michael shares the feast day of 29 September with his fellow Archangels and Seraphim, Sts. Gabriel and Raphael.
