Saint Paul Miki

It was in Japan

A military man

Had a boy who would be known to many lands

Paul Miki, Paul Miki

And the boy would be educated in Azuki

And the boy would go to Takastuki

Paul Miki, Paul Miki

He would preach what's True to his heart

And his guide would be the sky

By day or by night

Once a priest now saint

And once a little boy

With a love so great nobody could destroy

Paul Miki, Paul Miki

He would march through snow

Just to face his crucifixion

But his love would grow into everlasting love

Paul Miki, Paul Miki

The imperial wrath would be strong

And the courage of this saint

I sing in this song

There were twenty six

On the hills of Nagasaki

There were twenty six to die under the Taiko

Oh, oh, oh

As I sit and stare at the hills of Nagasaki

I remember fair

And holy men of God

Laudamus Te Deum

Laudamus Te Deum
