O blessed Saint Joseph, how great was thy worth, The one chosen shadow of God upon earth, The father of Jesus! Ah, then, wilt thou be, Sweet spouse of our Lady! a father to me? |
| 2 |
For thou to the pilgrim art father and guide, And Jesus and Mary felt safe by thy side; Ah, blessed Saint Joseph, how safe I should be, Sweet spouse of our Lady! if thou wert with me! |
| 3 |
When the treasures of God were unsheltered on earth, Safekeeping was found for them both in thy worth: O father of Jesus, be father to me, Sweet spouse of our Lady! and I will love thee. |
