O Joseph, Mighty Patron

O Joseph, mighty patron,

Your love and strength bestow

Upon a pilgrim people

Who are the Church below.

You were the Father’s image,

Great prince of David’s line;

Obtain for us God’s blessing

That we may be his sign.

Great Saint, you cherished Mary,

Who loved and cared for you;

You taught and nurtured Jesus,

Oh teach us to be true,

True to the Church he founded,

Until we form above

A family united

In bonds of lasting love.
