A PILGRIM HYMN OF ST NICHOLAS
There was a good bishop, whose story is told;
his memory is glorious, his legends are bold:
Rejoice, rejoice, all people today,
rejoice, rejoice, today and always!
2/
We called him Saint Nic'las, a servant of Christ,
who loved little children and taught what was right:
REFRAIN
3/
He is Father Christmas, and Santa Claus too.
He helped many people, the stories are true:
REFRAIN
4/
At Christmas he calls to us, both young and old.
To see that the story of Jesus is told:
REFRAIN
5/
O blessed Saint Nic'las we hail you today.
The patron of many, to show us the way:
REFRAIN
6/
To be good and gen'rous to help those in need.
To be kind to others in both word and deed.
REFRAIN
