A ST NICHOLAS SONG
Children everywhere agree
Each December now to be
Ready, eager, all to greet
The great saint we wait to meet
2/
Bearing gifts, he first recalls
If we have been good at all,
In our work, at home or play
All before St Nicholas day
3/
With his helpers at his side
Celebrating far and wide
He’s the real Santa Claus
Hail our kind St Nicholas
4/
Now he leads us one and all
To the Christmas manger stall
Sees the babe, he bows the knee
For the prince of peace - ‘tis he!
5/
So in Myra stories told
His great love, his actions bold
Pilgrims now to Bari go
So the legends all may know.
6/
Now the day of joy and fun
Ole St Nick, his work is done
Says his goodbye to young and old
By whom still his tales are told
