Our Spirituality - The Lochinvar Hymn

Introduction | Josephite Spirituality

THE LOCHINVAR HYMN 
  
Where the meadows and the mountains 
Meet in mellow lines of rest
Thou hast set us as a jewel
On our country’s glowing breast

Holy Joseph, guard and guide us
Make thy children all thine own
Dearest patron, lead and guide us
To our King’s eternal throne

Day by day the notes of children
Mingle with the wild birds’ lay
Guileless hearts through bright eyes beaming 
Grow and strengthen, dream and pray.

Holy Joseph, guard and guide us
Make thy children all thine own
Dearest patron, lead and guide us
To our King’s eternal throne

Give us grace to stand unflinching
‘Gainst the storms that loom afar
Give us love and power and wisdom
Bless the souls of Lochinvar

Holy Joseph, guard and guide us
Make thy children all thine own
Dearest patron, lead and guide us 
To our King’s eternal throne
