Joseph, Son of an Ancient King

Author: Daniel Charles Damon, 1955- Meter: 8.7.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Parenting Lyrics: 1 Joseph, son of an ancient king, what did you teach our Savior? Did you teach him to dance and sing? Did he share your labor? Did you tell him about your dream and of the desert journey; warned by angels of Herod's scheme, how you had to hurry? 2 Seeking work in a foreign land, could you support your fam'ly? Did you hold him with calloused hands? Were you homeless, hungry? Did you shelter him in your cloak while heaven's wind was blowing? Did you wonder at words he spoke as a boy, still growing? 3 Did you teach him to work with wood? Did Jesus like to help you? Were you always so wise and good? Did your dreams all come true? Joseph, son of an ancient king, angels will guide your going; though the desert with Mary, bring Living Water flowing. Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25 Used With Tune: JOSEPH

Lord, Thy glory shall appear, Kings and nations then shall fear; And Thy Name shall be adored When Thy Zion is restored. 3 This all ages shall record For the glory of the Lord; Thou dost hear the humble prayer, For the helpless Thou dost care. Thou eternal art, and great, Heav'n and earth Thou didst create, Heav'n and earth shall pass away, Changeless Thou shalt live for aye. 4 As one lays a garment by, Thou wilt change the starry sky Like a vesture worn and old, But Thy years shall ne'er be told. Thou wilt make Thy servants' race Ever live before Thy face, And forever at Thy side Children's children shall abide. Scripture: Psalm 102 Used With Tune: BLUMENTAHL
