Dziesma svētā Jāzepa godam (Joseph, be our guide and pattern) by Caspar Ett — Lyrics
1. Svētais Jāzep, mūsu paraugs, esi mūsu aizbildnis.
Jaunavu un Bērnu Jēzu labi Tu reiz sargāji.
Uzticīgais svētais Jāzep, dzīves ceļos vadi mūs.
2. Tu, kas sapnim noticēji, uzklausīji eņģeli,
Mariju un mazo Jēzu nāves briesmās izglābi,
paļauties uz Dievu māci, dzīves ceļos vadi mūs.
3. Izvedi Tu briesmām cauri savu Svēto Ģimeni,
pazemīgi apgādāji, vienmēr aprūpēji to.

About Dziesma svētā Jāzepa godam (Joseph, be our guide and pattern)
This sacred SATB setting of a Latvian text honours Saint Joseph, portraying him as a model, protector, and guide through life's journey. The lyrics reflect on his steadfast faith, his role in protecting the infant Jesus and Mary, and his diligence as a craftsman who taught Jesus to work. The music likely conveys the reverence and strength associated with Saint Joseph, suitable for liturgical occasions. The composer, Caspar Ett, contributes a setting that elevates the devotional text, making it a meaningful addition to a choir's sacred repertoire.
