Introduction to A Collection of Catholic Devotional Hymns to St. Joseph

I surveyed over one hundred Catholic hymnals and I found over eighty hymns to St. Joseph. The hymnals in the survey included those from England, Ireland, and America from the late 19th and early 20th century period. From there, I set out to identify the melodies. 

From my survey, I chose fourteen of the most widely used hymns to St. Joseph. I included a melody and choir arrangement for each hymn as well as a brief history and reflection. The hymns to St. Joseph are more than just melodies and words, many are prayers. Don’t wait for a feast day to occur, be spontaneous and sing these hymns as part of your Mass or devotion and you’ll see what a wonderful relationship develops and the numerous graces that will flow from St. Joseph’s intercession.

All the hymns are in the public domain and have approved text by the Catholic Church which makes them perfectly suited for Mass and devotions.
