I love this song! It’s been a favorite song for small choirs or ensembles. Thank you for such a touching and meaningful piece of music.

What version of Guard Him Joseph should I print for men’s solo, his range is Baritone. Thanks!

My apologies – we’re looking for the version for low solo voice with flute, in the key of C.
Thanks,
Martha

We have a “Low Voice Solo w/opt. flute” version, with 2 sharps, that we have played for many years – but we’ve lost the flute part. Is there a way to get a copy of this version again?
Thank you!
Martha

Hi there! This is such a lovely simple piece. My choir is basking in it right now. However, I need the flute part as a .pdf. I have no way to open the format here. Is that possible?

How can I get the choral version of Guard Him, Joseph? Is there also a SA version with the more elaborate accompaniment?

Dear Talented and Generous Sally DeFord! Truly you are an angel on earth. Thank you for this beautiful song.
Our ward choir – consisting of about 1/4 cute kids – sang this for the Christmas Program. It was so perfect and
brought such a sweet Spirit to our meeting. We tied it all in with the theme of “Assignments” and how it must
have been overwhelming for poor Joseph to try to fulfill his assignment as the Earthly Father of the Savior.
I know this song’s been around for awhile and we’ve sung it before (some of us), but it never fails to touch me.
Thank you for living in such a way that the Lord can use you as HIs instrument and voice. Music is such a great
gift and you are doing a great work. Thank seems inadequate – but it’s all I can think to say. God bless you.
p.s. I am reading the comments below – is there a Spanish version??

Years ago, as a ward choir director, I got this in SA and we sang it in Relief Society and then during the Sacrament Meeting Christmas Program. I have a beautiful picture of Joseph holding the Baby Jesus up. However, it is in storage currently, and I would love another copy. Do you remember the name of the artist? This picture depicted Joseph raising the child to heaven and accepting Him to raise as his own.
