HYMN FOR THE AMERICAN FRIENDS OF THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF JERUSALEM
– ST NICHOLAS 2009

Refrain:

A song of celebration
Saint Nicholas we sing
Our hopes and aspirations
For peace with justice ring

1
Our Advent call awakens
Christ’s people to prepare
To love and serve those needing
Our prayers and gifts of care

2
To Palestine you traveled
Christ’s footsteps there to trace
A cave your visit hallows
Your ways we now embrace

3
To Bethlehem you bring us
We pray for those who dare
To share the Christmas story
The burdens that they bare

4
O blessed saint, remind us,
To be like you, that we
May give and in that giving,
the Christ Child truly see
