O Blessed Joseph, yours the praise The choirs of angels sing,
The guardian of the Virgin blest, And of her Child and King.

Yours was the glory then to be There at the Savior’s birth.
To him, the Father’s only Son You served as father here;
He was subjected to your will He, whom the heavens revere.
As once you sought and found again The Christ, the Lord of light;
So may we walk with him, like you All humble in his sight.
