St. Joseph's Carpenters
"My help is from the Lord:  Who made both heaven and earth."  Psalm 120
He made the heavens,
He made the earth,
He prepared St. Joseph's
For you at birth.

You were chosen,
To come to this school,
Given the grace,
A Catholic's tool.

At St. Joseph's
You formed with grace,
A sculpted soul,
His dwelling place.

Now works galore,
Will come from you,
Your chisled souls
Of grace so true.

Your patron, St. Joseph,
Had carpenter's tools,
And he hewed a home
And lived by God's rules.

Kept Jesus safe,
Preserved kith and kin.
Bolstered by love...
He died for our sin.

And, you, dear students,
Your mind and souls strong
Engraved by tool-grace,
You're shielded from wrong.

For you're from
St. Joseph's,
In the world, but not of
Embossed Roman Catholics...
Carve the Church, bare His love!
