St. Nicholas
A song from Canada by Glenda Rae and Miles Black
 German Postcard St. Nicholas Center Collection |
One small bag of gold
Through a window it flew
Into a stocking
Hung to dry
A dowry paid
Sailors lost out at sea
Caught in raging storms
An apparition
Of flesh and bone
Would guide them home
Oh, St. Nicholas, you lived and your life
will teach us how to truly love
Oh St. Nicholas, you're a mystery
A saint, a man for all humanity
Like the tiny babe we celebrate
Snow is falling now
A late December Scene
Heavy branches
Christmas lights
That dance on the trees
It's another year
With all that living brings
My heart is full
With priceless gifts
For you joy and peace
Oh, St. Nicholas, you lived and your life
will teach us how to truly love
Oh St. Nicholas, you're a mystery
A saint, a man for all humanity
Oh St. Nicholas, you gave in secret
so that no one else would see
Oh St. Nicholas you're a mystery
Admired, misunderstood
Like the babe
of Bethlehem
The Christ child
We celebrate
