Saint Joseph

by Helen M. Best-Colgan

Oh Great Saint Joseph, spouse of Mary
Oh Great Saint Joseph, guardian of Our Lord
Oh Great Saint Joseph, patron of our Island
Be with us as we gather here today.

Oh Great Saint Joseph, hear our prayer
Oh Great Saint Joseph always be near
And when we go to be with our loved ones
With Mary present us to Our Lord.

Oh Great Saint Joseph, hear our prayer
Oh Great Saint Joseph, always be near..
Oh Great Saint Joseph, model of our fathers
Oh Great Saint Joseph, favourite of our mothers.

Oh Great Saint Joseph, protector of our children
Be with them and guide them along their way
Oh Great Saint Joseph, hear our prayer
Oh Great Saint Joseph, always be near.

And when they go to be with their loved ones
With Mary present them to Our Lord
Oh Great Saint Joseph, hear our prayer
Oh Great Saint Joseph, always be near.
