To Be God's Father Here (Joseph's Canticle)

Glory to the Lord!
God's name be praised
For You chose to save
Your servant's heart from fear
Dream in me, O Lord
Grant me the grace
To be God's father here

Open my heart
Which by Your Spirit stirred
Receives the Holy Word
The promise my bride has heard
We hope and trust
Surrender to Your plan
You've sent the Son of Man
Salvation is at hand!

Lend me Your love
To raise Him as my own
Provide Him with a home
Where justice and peace are known
God from above
Becomes Emmanuel
Our restlessness dispel!
In God, teach us to dwell

Hallelujah! Praise the Son!
Hallelujah! Holy One!
Hallelujah! Child most dear
I'll be Your father here
