A Hymn to Saint Joseph the Worker:

At tip of dawn, before the sun,
Earth's toilers to their work had stirred,
Within the home at Nazareth
The hammer's ringing sound was heard.

Hail, Joseph, head of perfect home,
For he by whom the world was made,
From your instruction learned to toil,
And ply a hard and humble trade.

Now from your lofty throne above,
In honour close to heaven's Queen,
Assist all those who cry to you
In need, or want, or anguish keen.

Far from us be all words of strife,
All violence and greed for gain;
When taking sustenance we need,
May Christian moderatioon reign.

All glory to the Trinity
Who at Saint Joseph's faithful prayer,
Will guard us in the way of peace
Till heaven's joy we too may share. Amen.
