Hymns to St. Nicholas

On this day we venerate the hierarch:

As a canon of faith and an icon of meekness,
of abstinence a teacher,
the truth of thy deeds has shown thee to thy flock as a canon of the Faith;
wherefore thou didst acquire through humility the high things,
through poverty, riches.
Father hierarch Nicholas,
intercede with Christ the God
that our souls may be saved.

Thou wert truly a priestly worker in Myra,
for zealously living the Gospel of Christ,
thou didst dedicate thy life to thy people;
thou didst save the innocent from death.
Therefore thou hast been sanctified
as one who has entered the mystery of God’s grace.

–//–
