Saint Nicholas we humbly pray

Saint Nicholas we humbly pray,
O hear us on this festal day.
As we give thanks for what you do
We in our lives your joy pursue.

To celebrate and make our way
With you to Bethlehem today
A Holy Mother, Holy Son,
O holy Saint, God's will be done.

The real one, Our Friend in heaven
Comes with great gifts and legends bold
The miracles and songs of old,
The path of glory we behold.

Dear friend of children, sailors, too
Come lead us in what we should do
That with you we may do what's right,
O shine within our hearts most bright.
