“ Hail, holy Joseph, hail! Belov'd of angels, hail! Cheer thou the hearts that faint, And guide the steps that fail. Hail, holy Joseph, hail! God's choice wert thou alone; To thee the Word made flesh Was subject as a Son. ”

“ Oh, with what bursts of fervent praise Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing Sweet Sacrament, &c. Oh, see! within a creature's hand The vast Creator deigns to be, Reposing infant-like, as though On Joseph's arm, or Mary's knee. ”

“ Sing, sing, ye Angel bands, All beautiful and bright; For higher still, and higher, Through the vast fields of light, Mary your Queen ascends, Like the sweet moon at night. A fairer flower than she On earth hath never been ”
