To Saint Joseph (ORIGINAL SONG)

Music and lyrics by Sr. Gabi SJA

CHORUS: Oh, Saint Joseph, come to our help,
In these days of pain and tribulation,
Make us sure of God’s assistance,
Like you, facing every situation.

1.You didn’t know how to go ahead,
You fell asleep so worried and disheartened
But in a dream you heard God’s angel
Saying to you : “Don’t be afraid!”

2.Then in Bethlehem, lost and tired,
Knocking at doors which never opened,
Mary gave birth in a poor manger
It echoed in your hearts: “Don’t be afraid!”

3.When King Herod killed the babies
The angel in your dream came with a message:
“Take child and mother, leave for Egypt!”
You seemed to hear that voice: “Don’t be afraid!”

4.After a while the things turned out for best
The angel let you know and you went back.
Working in the peaceful home of Nazareth,
Sometimes you heard the words : “Don’t be afraid!"
