Prayer For Success In Work Lyrics

Glorious St. Joseph,
Model Of All Those Who
Are Devoted To Labor,
Obtain For Me The Grace
To Work Conscientiously,
Putting The Call Of Duty
Above My Many Sins; To Work
With Thankfulness And Joy,
Considering It An Honor To
Employ And Develop, By Means
Of Labor, The Gifts Received
From God; To Work With Order,
Peace, Prudence And Patience,
Never Surrendering To Weariness
Or Difficulties; To Work, Above
All, With Purity Of Intention,
And With Detachment From Self,
Having Always Death Before My
Eyes And The Account Which I Must
Render Of Time Lost, Of Talents
Wasted, Of Good Omitted, Of Vain
Complacency In Success So Fatal
To The Work Of God.

All For Jesus, All For Mary,
All After Thy Example, O
Patriarch Joseph. Such Shall
Be My Motto In Life And Death.

Amen.
