Hymns - Holy Joseph Dearest Father - Текст песни

Holy Joseph, dearest father,
To thy children's prayer incline,
Whilst we sing thy joys and sorrows,
And the glories which are thine.

How to praise thee, how to thank thee,
Blessed Saint we can not tell,
Favors countless hast thou given
Can we choose but love thee well?

Holy Joseph, dearest father,
To thy children's prayer incline,
Whilst we sing thy joys and sorrows,
And the glories which are thine.

Near to Jesus, near to Mary,
And kind father, near to thee,
Keep us while on earth we wander,
And in death our helper be.

Holy Joseph, dearest father,
To thy children's prayer incline,
Whilst we sing thy joys and sorrows,
And the glories which are thine.

Sing we Joseph, spouse of Mary,
And our mother's blessed friend,
Favors countless mercies constant,
Thou dost ever to us send.

Holy Joseph, dearest father,
To thy children's prayer incline,
Whilst we sing thy joys and sorrows,
And the glories which are thine.

We have prayed, and thou hast answered;
We have asked and thou hast given
Need we marvel Jesus tells us,
Joseph has the stores of heav'n?

Holy Joseph, dearest father,
To thy children's prayer incline,
Whilst we sing thy joys and sorrows,
And the glories which are thine.

One more favor we will ask thee,
Thou of all canst grant it best,
When we die be thou still near us,
Bring us safe to endless rest.

Holy Joseph, dearest father,
To thy children's prayer incline,
Whilst we sing thy joys and sorrows,
And the glories which are thine.
