- O blessed Saint Joseph how great was thy worth.
The one chosen shadow of God up on earth,
Called Father of Jesus ah, then wilt thou be,
Sweet Spouse of Our Lady! a father to me.
- For thou to the pilgrim art father and guide,
And Jesus and Mary felt safe by thy side;
Ah blessed Saint Joseph how safe should I be,
Sweet Spouse of Our Lady! If thou werewith me.
- When the treasures of God were unsheltered on earth,
Safe keeping 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.
