[Verse 1]
[G]Rev[C]ere[G]nd Nicholas
was [C]the dea[G]con
of the Christian children's home.
He kept so [C]many [G]children
that never had a home.
some people call him a saint
for the love that he gave to all the little
The chil[C]dren,
[Am]Reverend Nich[D]olas [G]saves.[C][G]
That night when [C]prayers [G]were said,
And he turned [D]out the light[G]s,
Outside the snow [C]was fall[G]ing
On that cold win[D]ter night.
[G]The children [C]knew that [G]Christ
mas would be here
when [D]night [G]was gone
How would he fill the [C]wishes
of his [Am]children [D]by [G]dawn?
[C]St. [G]Nicholas, we all love you,
he heard his children [D]say.
Could [C]it be him they were talk[D]ing to,
as he [C]turned to walk away?
[D]Or was[C] it San[G]ta Cla[C]us,
the [Am]tears fell [D]down his [G]face?
Though the [C]candlelight was glow[G]ing,
while the children [D]slept in [G]bed
Reverend Nicholas was
[C]at the[G] chapel,
[D]bowing his [G]head
Lord, he [C]said, please [G]hear me,
I'm running [D]out of [G]time
Please help me [Am]fill [G]the [C]wishes
of [Am]all these k[D]ids of m[G]ine
At dawn he [C]still was pray[G]in'
when the children [D]all ran [G]in
He heard them [C]laughing loudly
[G]sayin' Santa Claus had[D] bee[G]n
He couldn't be[C]lieve the [G]miracle
that his eyes could [D]surely see
[G]Each child's spe[Am]cial [G]wishes[C]
Wrapped in [Am]line [D]by the [G]tree
St. Nicholas, we all love you
He heard his children [D]say
Could [C]it be him they were [D]talking to
as he [C]turned to look their [D]way?
Or [C]was it [G]Santa [C]Claus,
[Am]the tears fell [D]down his [G]face?
Reverend Nicholas [C]was the dea[G]con
of the Christian chil[D]dren's [G]home.
