A Fervent Prayer to St. Joseph
Solemnity of St. Joseph
"Take St. Joseph for your special patron,
your most powerful mediator, and best friend."--Gerson
| Holy Patron! thee saluting There we meet with hearts sincere, Blest Saint Joseph, all uniting Call on thee tohear our prayer. | Chorus: Happy Saint, in bliss adoring Jesus, Saviour of mankind, Hear thy children thee imploring, May we thy protection find. |
| Wordly dangers for them fearing, Youthful hearts to thee we bring, Grant in virtue persevering Vice may ne'er this bosom sting. | Chorus: Happy Saint, in bliss adoring Jesus, Saviour of mankind, Hear thy children thee imploring, May we thy protection find. |
| Thou, who faithfully attended Him whom heaven and earth adore, Who with pious care defended Mary, virgin ever pure. | Chorus: Happy Saint, in bliss adoring Jesus, Saviour of mankind, Hear thy children thee imploring, May we thy protection find. |
| May our fervent prayers, ascending, Move thee for our souls to plead; May thy smile of peace, descending, Benedictions on us shed. | Chorus: Happy Saint, in bliss adoring Jesus, Saviour of mankind, Hear thy children thee imploring, May we thy protection find. |
| Through this life, oh watch around us, Fill with love our every breath, And when parting, fear surrounds us, Guide us through the pangs of death. | Chorus: Happy Saint, in bliss adoring Jesus, Saviour of mankind, Hear thy children thee imploring, May we thy protection find. |
