Hymnus
Te, Ioseph, célebrent ágmina cælitum te cuncti résonent christíanum chori, qui, clarus méritis, iunctus es ínclitæ casto fóédere Vírgini.
Let Angels chant thy praise, pure spouse of purest Bride, While Christendom’s sweet choirs the gladsome strains repeat, To tell thy wondrous fame, to raise the pealing hymn, Wherewith we all they glory greet.
Almo cum túmidam gérmine cóniugem admírans, dúbio tángeris ánxius, afflátu súperi Fláminis ángelus concéptum púerum docet.
When doubts and bitter fears thy heavy heart oppressed, And filled thy righteous soul with sorrow and dismay, An Angel quickly came, the wondrous secret told, And drove thy anxious griefs away.
Tu natum Dóminum stringis, ad éxteras Ægýpti prófugum tu séqueris plagas; amíssum Sólymis quæris et ínvenis, miscens gáudia flétibus.
Thy arms thy new-born Lord, with tender joy embrace; Him then to Egypt’s Land thy watchful care doth bring; Him in the Temple’s courts once lost thou dost regain, And ‘mid thy tears dost greet thy King.
Eléctos réliquos mors pia cónsecrat palmámque eméritos glória súscipit; tu vivens, súperis par, frúeris Deo, mira sorte beátior.
Not till death’s pangs are o’er do others gain their crown, But, Joseph, unto thee the blessed lot was given While life did yet endure, thy God to see and know, As do the Saints above in heaven.
Nobis, summa Trias, parce precántibus; da Ioseph méritis sídera scándere, ut tandem líceat nos tibi pérpetim gratum prómere cánticum. Amen.
