Song of Saint Nick

Song of Saint Nick

(To the tune of "Jolly Old St. Nicholas")

  1. 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.
  2. 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."
  3. 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.
  4. 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!

Mike Sherer, St. Nicholas Eve, December 5, 1972
