A HYMN TO ST NICHOLAS

Good Saint Nicholas of Myra
deeds and legends tell your fame
Saintly bishop, friend of children,
Bari pilgrims chant your name

Blessed Nicholas, Blessed Nicholas
            Loving all in Jesus’ name

2/
Miracles and signs and wonders
you performed to praise the Lord
For a poor and weary people
source of care and joy outpoured

3/
Sailors, nations, people thank you
for the message that you bring.
Young and old now hail your memory
with delight your honour sing!

4/
May your ways of true devotion
guide us on our earthly way
Challenge us to be more like you
as Christ’s gospel we obey.

5/
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
bind us in community
so that we with holy Nicholas
might eternal glory see
