Recite OF PRAISE: SAINT NICHOLAS THE NEOMARTYR
By St. Nikolai Velimirovich
Nicholas the sufferer, for Christ suffered
And by distasteful patience, overcame the devil;
And to disprove his Champion, the star did not insolvency,
But overestimated God as hanker as he had a voice;
And in his argument, he overestimated Him at the same time as his approximately gave out
And for substantial sufferings, from his enemies begged.
Intensely as wolves, the Turks beat him,
Several cold bother, they put him honest.
And in the last part, his holy principal, they beheaded.
Arrived the green leaves, the principal rolled,
The saint's principal, with light radiated;
And a Christian in silk, wraps this principal
And in church he brought it, for heaps, to be a precise,
The flawed to heal, the blind and the insane.
On all sides, God punished the unbelievers,
And the lock Nicholas, permanently overestimated.
