Amidst the simplicity of that carpentry shop
Worked a saint of great hope
A skilled labourer, a great craftsman,
A renowned woodworker, Joseph of Nazareth
Perfect in work, humble in thoughts
Noble in ways, father so great
A just man, acted on dreams
Never questioned, never doubted, just believed
Husband of Mary, Foster Father of Jesus
Obedient, kind and faithful
Knew the pain of exile, yet followed God’s command
Searched Jesus in the ancient city, when he was lost
Who else than Joseph to be protector of the church?
Who else than Joseph to be patron of dreams?
Who else than Joseph to be patron of Little Design?
Who else than Joseph to be our guide?
Go to Joseph - was said in the old
Go to Joseph - is all that is asked
Go to him, and he will take you to Jesus
For Joseph has the greatest treasure with him.
