In Myra, O Saint,
       you proved yourself a true priest of God
       and servant of the divine mysteries.
Fulfilling the Gospel of Christ,
       you gave your life for your flock
       and saved the innocent from death.
In this way you achieved true holiness
       as a great mystic of the Grace of God.
