Hymn to Saint Joseph with Lyrics by Dana

 

Hymn to Saint Joseph - Dana, Rosemary Scanlon

from the Our Lady of Knock Collection 1...Did you wonder where He'd lead you? Were you afraid of what the world might say? I feel you understand my fears today. I feel you standing by my side. You taught the child to be a man. A man whose life my freedom won. Yours was the shoulder that he rested on. You held my saviour in your arms Saint Joseph, pray for me That I may live my life with Jesus as you did. Saint Joseph, pray for me, That at the hour of my death He may hold me. Saint Joseph, pray for me That I may follow where the Spirit leads me. Chaste husband of a virgin wife. Wise guardian of the Bread of Life Who humbly held the Son of God Saint Joseph, pray for me 2. The little hands that played with wood The little boy that you called Son You always knew He was the chosen one Would one day hang upon a cross. Yet, you lived to do the Father's will Fearlessly followed His command. You were the loving and the gentle man He chose to guide His precious Son. Saint Joseph, pray for me That I may live my life with Jesus as you did. Saint Joseph, pray for me, That at the hour of my death He may hold me. Saint Joseph, pray for me That I may follow where the Spirit leads me. Chaste husband of a virgin wife. Wise guardian of the Bread of Life Who humbly held the Son of God Saint Joseph, pray for me ( musical interlude ) Chaste husband of a virgin wife. Wise guardian of the Bread of Life Who humbly held the Son of God Saint Joseph, pray for me
