ST. JOSEPH’S MONTH
O, holy St. Joseph! in thee we confide,
Be thou our protector, our father, our guide;
The flowers of our innocent childhood we twine
In a fragrant white garland of love at thy shrine.
St. Joseph, who guided the Child on His way,
O, guide us and guard us and bless us, we pray!
Long ago didst thou teach the Lord Jesus to speak,
And thine arms were His strength when His footsteps, were weak;
So lend us thy help in the days of our youth
