Saint Paul Miki lyrics

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
