Oh, Saint Joseph
Whose protection is so great, so prompt, so strong before the throne of God
i place in you all my interests and desires
Oh, Saint Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession
And obtain for me, from Your Divine Son
All spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ our Lord
So that, having engaged here below your Heavenly power
i may offer my thanksgiving and desires
To the most loving of fathers
Oh, Saint Joseph, i never weary of contemplating you
And Jesus, asleep in your arms
i dare not approach while He reposes near your heart
Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me
And ask Him to return the kiss when i draw my dying breath
Saint Joseph, Patron of Departing Souls, pray for me
Amen
Hail Holy Queen
Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve
To thee do we send up our sighs, mournings, and weepings in this valley of tears
Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us
And after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Oh clement, oh loving, oh sweet, Virgin Mary
Pray for us, oh Holy Mother of God
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ
Amen
