São José
Suely Façanha
Saint Joseph
With a father's heart
So Joseph loved Jesus
With a husband's heart
He kept Mary all in God
As the Lord God did with Israel
So Joseph taught Jesus to walk
In you, Joseph, we touch the tenderness of the Father
In you, Joseph, we touch the Father
O faithful protector Saint Joseph
To you we consecrate our lives
Guardian of the Redeemer
O Saint Joseph, friend of God
In your silence and concealment
You overcome the snares of evil
O faithful protector Saint Joseph
To you we consecrate our lives
Guardian of the Redeemer
O Saint Joseph, friend of God
In your silence and concealment
You overcome the snares of evil
And who can say
That they have implored your help
And have not been
By you, Saint Joseph, assisted
