Na you, O blessed Joseph,

and after we don beg your most holy Wife for help,

Through that love wey join you
to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God
and through the love of a father
wey you take embrace the Child Jesus,
we humbly beg you to look with kindness on the inheritance
wey Jesus Christ buy with His Blood,
and with your power and strength, help us for our needs.

O guardian of the Holy Family wey dey watch with great care,

O father wey get so much love, keep far from us
every error wey fit spread like sickness and every influence wey fit corrupt us;
O our mighty protector, show us kindness
and help us from heaven as we dey struggle
against the power of darkness.

As you once rescue the Child Jesus from danger wey fit kill am,
so now protect God Holy Church
from the traps of the enemy and from every trouble;
also shield each one of us with your constant protection,
so that, with your example and your help to support us,
we fit live with devotion to God, die in holiness,
and receive eternal happiness for heaven.

Amen.
