Guard and protect me St Joseph each day

A devotional depiction of Saint Joseph walking beside an older traveler along a hillside track.
May each day’s journey be steadied by faithful companionship.

Guard and protect me St Joseph each day
As onward we journey, to heaven we pray.
I ask when I'm dying that you will be there,
To cheer by thy presence, aid by your prayer.
Now hear me St. Joseph, I count upon thee
To grant my petition whatever it be.
