A search of the Internet failed to locate a matching text of the prayer, however, this appears to be the same prayer in a modernized format. History Project Manager.

Oh Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, 
so strong, so prompt, before the Throne of GOD, 
I place before you, all my interest and desires. 

Oh Saint Joseph, do assist me by your powerful 
intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son, 
all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
So having engaged here below your heavenly power,
I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most 
loving of Fathers. 

Oh Saint Joseph, I never weary contemplating you,
 and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach 
while he reposes near your heart.  Press Him in my 
name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him 
to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. 
Saint Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me.
