Hymns

Apostle of Jesus, a martyr-saint of old
The cousin of our Savior, of Whom thy love hath told;
A writer of the scriptures, with tongue of fire aflame,
The worker great of wonders, in Jesus Holy Name

St. Jude, though oft forgotten, thou shalt remembered be,
We hail thee now in glory, and have recourse to thee;
For help for the despairing, when hopeless seems the task,
And from the Heart of Jesus, thru thee we favors ask



Apostle of the Indian land, 
St. Francis/ St. Thomas guide us by the hand. 
The faith Thou didst to India give, 
Help us in turn to preach and live, 
The faith Thou didst to India give, 
Help us in turn to preach and live 
Help us in turn to preach and live. 

Despising all the world's vain show 
And all that riches can bestow 
Thou chosest as the path of God, 
The thorny way our Saviour trod. 
Thou chosest as the path of God, 
The thorny way our Saviour trod 
The thorny way our Saviour trod.

your name, O Jesus, be for ever blessed:

and in the darkness their unfailing light.
Alleluia, alleluia!

Great Saint Joseph! Son of David, 
Foster father of our Lord, 
Spouse of Mary ever Virgin, 
Keeping o'er them watch and ward! 
In the stable thou didst guard them 
With a father's loving care; 
Thou by God's command didst save them 
From the cruel Herod's snare. 

Three long days in grief and anguish,
With His Mother sweet and mild, 
Mary Virgin, didst thou wander 
Seeking the beloved Child. 
In the temple thou didst find Him: 
Oh! What joy then filled thy heart! 
In thy sorrows, in thy gladness 
Grant us, Joseph, to have a part. 

Clasped in Jesus' arms and Mary's, 
When death gently came at last, 
Thy pure spirit sweetly sighing 
From its earthly dwelling passed. 
Dear Saint Joseph! By that passing 
May our death be like to thine; 
And with Jesus, Mary, Joseph, 
May our souls forever shine.

Hail, holy Joseph, hail!
Chaste spouse of Mary hail!
Pure as the lily flow'r
In Eden's peaceful vale.
Hail, holy Joseph, hail!
Prince of the house of God!
May His best graces be
By thy sweet hands bestowed.

Hail, holy Joseph, hail!
Comrade of angels, hail!
Cheer thou the hearts that faint,
And guide the steps that fail.
Hail, holy Joseph, hail!
God's choice wert thou alone!
To thee the Word made flesh,
Was subject as a Son.

Hail, holy Joseph, hail!
Teach us our flesh to tame,
And, Mary, keep the hearts
That love thy husband's name.
Mother of Jesus! bless,
And bless, ye saints on high,
All meek and simple souls
That to Saint Joseph cry.
