O kto, kto Nikolaja l'ubit,
O kto, kto Nikolaja sluzhit,
:Tomu svjatyj Nikolaj
Na vsjakij chas pomahaj,
Nikolaj, Nikolaj.:
O kto, kto zhivet v jeho dvory
Pomashchnik na zeml'i i mor'i.
:Izmet jeho ot napasti
Ne dast' jemu v hr'ichi v pasti
Nikolaj, Nikolaj.:
Nikolaj, molisja za nami,
Prosim t'a vsi so slezami.
:My t'a budem voschval'ati
Imja tvoje velichati
Vo v'iki, vo v'iki.:

We sang it after Vespers in front of the icon of St. Nikolai (English AND Slavonic  , and later after dinner when St. Nikolai visited...but since my youngest son is named Nikolai he never lets us forget it.  DD

Happy Saint Nicholas Day to all!

Dave, Sorry, just take "jeden kto" out. Prebachte! Ungcsertezs (hope I didn't offend anybody by listing this "unofficial, para-liturgical hymn".)

Actually it is nice tradition that the Eastern Christians maintained, but seems to be lost in the west entirely now a days. Also for those interested there is a website devoted exclusively to Saint Nicholas: Saint Nicholas Website [ stnicholascenter.org] In IC XC, Father Anthony+ (A devotee of Saint Nicholas)
Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

"The sincerity of deeds has revealed you to your people as a teacher of moderation. A model of faith and example of virtue. Therefore you attained greatness through humilaty and wealth through poverty. A father and archbishop Nicholas ask Christ our God to save our souls."

Glory to Jesus Christ!
Does anyone know a place online where there is an audio recording of the Slavonic translation of this hymn?

A few more stanzas:
O kto, kto k nemu prib�hajet,
Na pomoshch jeho prizyvajet,
V nem im�jet shchit okhrannyj
Ot zmijnykh poruhanij,
Nikolaj, Nikolaj!
O pastyr' slovesnaho stada!
Izbav nas ot hibely ada.
Sokhrani nas ot l�voj,
Chast' da primem na pravoj,
Nikolaj, Nikolaj!
Nikolaj imja narochito,
Pob�zhdajaj tezoimenito;
Pob�zhdajaj Aharjany,
Okhranjajaj Khristijany,
Nikolaj, Nikolaj.
And one in Ukrainian:
Omofor tvij nam oborona
I odna vid bid okhorona.
Nedajzhe marno propasty
Boroham u ruky pasty,
Nikolaje, Nikolaj!
Stephen

I Have the CD of the Tradtional Byzantine Hymns sung by a Choir from PA. I believe you can still order it. It has O KTO KTO on it along with all the Byzantine Christmas songs sung in Slovak and in English.
