A ST NICHOLAS HYMN

O blessed Saint, we honour you,
On this great festal day.
Hail Nicholas the faithful say,
Apostle of the Way.

2/
As you helped those who round you came;
May we your presence feel,
As our commitment is the same
Answering Love's appeal.

3/
The father poor, the three young girls,
Young men to life restored.
Sailors can rest, the sea is blessed,
Your miracles record.

4/
In prison dark, your faith was strong;
Help those who suffer wrong,
We heed your words, the gospel call,
To hail Christ, Lord of all.

5/
As Bari's pilgrims make their way
To sing of your great name
The wonder myrrh of Myra still
Proclaims your loving fame.

6/
Lead us dear saint, in joy and peace,
Your prayers we now implore,
As we praise God, the Father, Son
And Spirit blest adored.

Tune: CM St Fulbert
