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!
