School Prayers

Dear St. Joseph’s pure and gentle,
Guardian of all human kind,
Trading with the virgin Mother,
Egypt’s deserts rough and wild.
Ch. : Hail St. Joseph spouse of Mary
   Blessed above all saints on high
   When the dark shades round us gather,
   Teach oh’ teach us how to shine.
   Dear St. Joseph kind and loving,
   Stretch to us a helping hand
   Guide us through life’s toils and Sorrows,
   Safely to the distant land.
