Backstory:

A hymn honoring St. Joseph.  It is more suitable for a Faith Formation setting than for use in a Liturgical service.                                                                

Lyrics:

                                                  
GUARDIAN OF GOD                        C 2016  Servants of the Blessed Sacrament

CHORUS
o St. Joseph, spouse of the Virgin,
Fostering father, protector of all
Leading your family to refuge from danger;
Guide us, we pray,
Great Guardian of God.

     VERSE 1
     Dreamer obedient to the prompting of angels,
     Disclosing directions in the name of the Lord.
     Silent in shadow, yet taking the lead,
     o guide us, St. Joseph,
     The Church is in need.
CHORUS
     VERSE 2
     Non-stop to Egypt in the chill of the night,
     Wearing your wardrobe, with Pampers packed tight.
     Carpenter's tools in the luggage you bore,
     o help us, prepare
     To do the Will of the Lord.
CHORUS
