On Tuesday, the feast day of St. Nicholas, which our family has always celebrated with great joy, I posted the hymn Eastern Orthodox Christians and Byzantine Catholics sing in honor of this patron saint of children.
Today, especially if the tune is still lingering in your head, and you want to, perhaps listen again and sing along, I have posted the lyrics. For more things all St. Nicholas, visit www.stnicholascenter.org.
Hymn to St. Nicholas
O who loves Ni-cho-las the Saintly,
O who loves Nio-cho-las the Saintly.
Him will Nicholas receive,
and give help ini time of need.
Ni-cho-las, Ni-cho-las.
O who dwells in God's holy mansions;
Is our help on the land and oceans.
He will guard us from all ills,
keep us pure and free from sins,
Ni-cho-las, Ni-cho-las.
Ni-cho-las, tearfully we sinners,
Beseech you fervently in our prayers.
Help us in our tribulations,
comfort ev'ry Christian nation.
Ni-cho-las, Ni-cho-las.
Holy Saint, listen to our prayers.
Let not life lead us to despair;
All our efforts aren't in vain,
singing praises to your name;
Ni-cho-las, Ni-cho-las.
