So I now have 18 more prayer books to sell. My apologies for the drama. I'm accepting orders again, but with a limit of one book per order. Order info is below.
Forgive,

P.S. At the same moment, I found one old copy of the St. Nicholas Carol I'd so carefully put into English years ago (with a little expansion) from a Ukrainian version and couldn't find anywhere, not in printout, not on the computer. In gratitude to the saint, here is his carol (sorry, the Melody font I paid for does not appear to be on this computer, or I'd just .pdf it).
Rhythm: (8) means eighth note; (4) means quarter note; (2) means half-note
D4 - G4 - F#2 - A8 - A8 - G8 - F#8 - E1 - D2
D4 - G4 - F#2 - A8 - A8 - G8 - F#8 - E1 - D2
A8 - A8 - B8 - A8 - G8 - F#8 - E1
A8 - A8 - B8 - A8 - G8 - F#8 - E1
D1 - B1 - A2G8 - F#1 - E1 - D2
The A2G8 really should be a dotted quarter note followed by an eighth note.
Carol for St. Nicholas
tr., ed. hieromonk Aidan (Keller)
Oh, who, who, who
loves holy Nicholas?
Oh, who, who honors
holy Nicholas?
Near him Nicholas
will be,
Helping him in
everything,
Nicholas, Nicholas!
Oh, who, who,
dwelling in God’s mansions,
Helps us cross over
lands and oceans?
He will keep us
safe from sin,
Crafty thoughts,
and wicked men.
Nicholas, Nicholas!
Oh, who, who flee
to him for safety,
Naming him Nicholas
the saintly,
He will be
protecting them
From starvation and
from sin.
Nicholas, Nicholas!
Shepherd, tend all
the sheep of Jesus.
In hell’s chains
never, never leave us!
Snatch us from the
lion’s den,
Set us on the Lord’s
right hand,
Nicholas, Nicholas!
Nicholas, name of
mighty power,
Champion great and
triumphant tower,
Safeguard all the
Christians who
Come with songs to
honor you.
Nicholas, Nicholas!
Shield us from
those who harm and hate us,
Don’t let tears
drown or devastate us.
Christ was born in
Bethlehem!
From the tomb He
rose again!
Nicholas, Nicholas!
