Description

🎶 Te Joseph Celebrent - Gregorian Chant 🎶
Happy feast of St. Joseph!

This hymn was written by Fr. Juan Escollar (d. 1700), and is used at Vespers for the feast of St. Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary, (March 19) and then again on May 1 (St. Joseph the Worker).

English Translation by
Father Joseph Connelly:

1. Let the choirs of angels sing your praises,
O Joseph, and all the choirs of the Christian world make your name resound, to honor you for your unique merits and for your union in chaste
wedlock with the glorious Virgin.

2. When you were astonished at your wife being pregnant with her loving Child, and doubt and anxiety filled your soul, an angel told you that the Child was conceived by the breath of the heavenly Spirit.

3. You took your Lord in your arms at His birth and waited on His direction on the journey into exile in far-off Egypt. You searched Jerusalem for Him, when He was missing, and on finding Him your tears of sorrow became tears of joy.

4. A loving providence puts other men in God's presence when they are dead-and
glory is the welcome for those who win the palm of victory. But through a wonderful act of providence you were more fortunate, for in your life here below you enjoyed God's presence, the equal of those in heaven.

5. Mighty God, three in
one, spare us, Your suppliants. Grant through Joseph's merits that we enter heaven where we may then unceasingly sing in Your honor our hymns of joy and gratitude.
