SMTV Vol. II, No. 5.1. – Caelitum Joseph (Gregorian chant)
Caélitum, Ióseph, décus, átque nóstrae
cérta spes vítae, columénque múndi,
quas tíbi laéti cánimus, benígnus
súscipe láudes.
Te Sátor rérum státuit pudícae
Vírginis spónsum, voluítque Vérbi
te pátrem díci, dédit et minístrum
ésse salútis.
Tu, Redemptórem stábulo iacéntem,
quem chórus vátum cécinit futúrum,
áspicis gáudens, humilísque nátum
númen adóras.
Rex Déus régum, dominátor órbis,
cúius ad nútum trémit inferórum
túrba, cui prónus famulátur aéther,
se tíbi subdit.
Laus sit excélsae Tríadi perénnis,
quae, tíbi praébens súperos honóres,
Det túis nóbis méritis beátae
gáudia vítae. Amen.
Joseph, the praise and glory of the heavens,
sure pledge of life, and safety of the wide world,
as in our joy we sing to thee, in kindness
list to our praises.
Thou by the world’s Creator wert appointed
spouse of the Virgin; thee He willed to honor
naming thee Father of the Word and guardian
of our salvation.
Thou thy Redeemer, lying in a stable,
whom long ago foretold the choir of Prophets,
sawest rejoicing and thy God adoredst
humble in childhood.
God, King of kings, and Governor of the ages,
He at whose word the powers of hell do tremble,
He whom the adoring heavens ever worship
called thee protector.
Praise to the Triune Godhead ever-lasting,
Who with such honor mightily hath blest thee;
o may He grant us thy blest petition
joys everlasting. Amen.
