About the chant:
Written by Fr. Juan Escollar (d. 1700), this hymn is used at Vespers for the feast of St. Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary, (March 19) and then again on May 1 (St. Joseph the Worker).
We know Joseph was a compassionate, caring man. When he discovered Mary was pregnant after they had been betrothed, he knew the child was not his but was as yet unaware that she was carrying the Son of God. He knew women accused of adultery could be stoned to death, so he resolved to send her away quietly to not expose her to shame or cruelty. However, when an angel came to Joseph in a dream and told him, 20 "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins," he did as the angel told him and took Mary as his wife. (Matthew 1:19-25).
We know Joseph loved Jesus. His one concern was for the safety of this child entrusted to him. Not only did he leave his home to protect Jesus, but upon his return settled in the obscure town of Nazareth out of fear for his life. When Jesus stayed in the Temple we are told Joseph (along with Mary) searched with great anxiety for three days for him (Luke 2:48). We also know that Joseph treated Jesus as his own son for over and over the people of Nazareth say of Jesus, "Is this not the son of Joseph?" (Luke 4:22)

Latin Text:
Te Joseph celebrent agmina caelitum
te cuncti resonent Christiadum chori
qui clarus meritis iunctus es inclitae
casto foedere Virgini
Almo cum tumidam germine coniugem
admirans dubio tangeris anxius
afflatu superi Flaminis Angelus
conceptum puerum docet
Tu natum Dominum stringis ad exteras
Aegypti profugum tu sequeris plagas
amissum Solymis quaeris et invenis
miscens gaudia fletibus
Electos reliquos mors pia consecrat1
palmamque emeritos gloria suscipit
tu vivens Superis par frueris Deo
mira sorte beatior
Nobis summa Trias parce precantibus
da Ioseph meritis sidera scandere
ut tandem liceat nos tibi perpetim
gratum promere canticum
Amen
