What about the story of the storm?
Could that be true?
The story of the storm? The story of the storm?
Yes, yes! The one about the storm!
Could that be true?
It may be true in part. We know it's true at heart!
Nicolas set sail for Egypt
As a pilgrim to the Holy Land.
On the first night he had a dream
That would end his trip before it began.
In the dream he saw a storm
That would surely bring the ship to harm.
So the next day he told the sailors,
Who were more than a little alarmed.
Straight away the sky began to darken
And rain began to fall.
The rain fell, and the wind blew.
The waves rose as the wind grew.
So the sailors were afraid!
What hope is there for us?
The storm blew, raising up the sea into a tumult.
From a sky jet black the lightning cracked,
Raising up the sea into a tumult.
The waves rose, breaking over the deck.
Might the ship be wrecked?
What hope is there for us?
Wave after wave, wave after wave, Crashing and a-splashing on the deck, on the deck!
Nicolas, Nicolas, Nicolas, good Saint Nicolas, pray!
Nicolas, pray to God in heaven above!
Pray that we are saved.
Is there some hope for us?
Is there some hope for us? Is there some hope?
Peace mighty waves! Deep peace, mighty waves!
In Jesus' name I pray, be still.
In Jesus' mighty name I pray, be still.
