Pagsamo Kay San Jose
Bukas Palad Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

O San Jose, ikaw ang tunay na huwaran
Ng pag-ibig, katapatan at kabanalan.
O San Jose, sa iyo'y nanalangin.
Ang samo namin sa iyo nawa'y dinggin.

Akayin mo kami, ang bayan mong nangangarap.
Gabayan mo po ang aming pagsisikap,
Upang kaming lahat, maging karapat-dapat

Kay Hesus, 'yong sinisintang anak.

O San Jose, ikaw ang tunay na huwaran
Ng pag-ibig, katapatan at kabanalan.
O San Jose, sa iyo'y nanalangin.
Ang samo namin sa iyo nawa'y dinggin.

Akayin mo kami, ang bayan mong nangangarap.
Gabayan mo po ang aming pagsisikap,
Upang kaming lahat, maging karapat-dapat
Kay Hesus, 'yong sinisintang anak.

Akayin mo kami, ang bayan mong nangangarap.
Gabayan mo po ang aming pagsisikap,
Upang kaming lahat, maging karapat-dapat
Kay Hesus, 'yong sinisintang anak.

Kay Hesus, 'yong sinisintang anak.
