As a tender plant , I grew
In the shadow of your wings
Never knowing danger was so near;
Your protection and your love
Dispelling all my fear.
When God called,
You heard His call,
So willing was your spiritually tender heart
No forces of hell could sever you
from your appointed path.
The guardian of my youth,
The obedient servant of the Lord,
Thou art Joseph
The valiant son of God.
