THE SONG OF ST NICHOLAS

Once upon a long ago

Very far away,

In the town of Bethlehem

Lying in some hay,

Jesus came for you and me

Bringing heaven's love

As a gift for us to have

From the Lord above.

In the town of Myra once

Also long ago,

Lived good Bishop Nicholas

Hair as white as snow.

Nicholas loved Jesus who

Loved and helped us all.

"I will do the same," said he

"Helping great and small."

Thankful Bishop Nicholas

Friendly, good and wise;

When he could helped the poor

Always by surprise.

Rich men came to Nicholas

Bringing wealth to share

So it could be sent to those

Living in despair.

We should be like Nicholas

Thankful, good and kind,

Loving those who need our help

All the ones we find.

Jesus and Saint Nicholas

Taught us how to give:

Share but never seek rewards,

That is how to live!
