A tribute to the real-life saint who inspired the legend of Santa Claus…
ontdeksintniklaas.be
There was a real-life Santa Claus
who lived quite long ago.
He was Bishop with a beard,
that grew as white as snow.
He loved the Lord (God’s people too).
He gave gifts to the poor.
He touched the world where e’er he went
with love and so much more.
And Nicholas became a saint,
based on the work he’d done.
So, on this day we sing his praise,
through Jesus Christ God’s Son.
