Joseph was a carpenter (TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM)
words by Jim Cogswell
Joseph was a carpenter, father to our Savior.
Rough and callused were his hands,
Hardened by his labor.
Who was he to think that God
Would choose him for glory?
Such a humble man was he.
Listen to his story.
Virgin Mary was betrothed
To this man so humble.
He learned she was great with child
And his heart was troubled.
He thought best to let her go
To spare her disgracing.
But then Joseph in a dream
Was God’s angel facing.
“Fear not, Joseph, David’s son,
To take Mary to you.
For the child that she will bear
God’s own Spirit gives you.
Jesus is to be His name.
God’s love will enfold you.
He saves Israel from their sins,
As God’s prophet told you.”
Joseph wakened from his dream
And in full obedience
Took young Mary as his wife,
Waiting God’s convenience.
In good time she bore a son.
Joseph named him Jesus.
He would be Emmanuel
For in Him God’s with us.
