Saint Joseph Was a Just Man

Saint Joseph was a just man,

A man of upright life;

Our Lord’s kind foster father

Took Mary as his wife.

He knew the pain of exile

In far Egyptian land.

Obedient, kind and faithful

He followed God’s command.

As head of God’s own family,

Saint Joseph is renowned;

He searched the ancient city,

Until his child was found.

All honor to Saint Joseph,

Whose merits we acclaim!

God bless each home and family

In good Saint Joseph’s name.
