Good King Wenceslas looked out
C G C D7 G
On the feast of Stephen

When the snow lay round about,
C G C D7 G
Deep and crisp and even.
D7 G D G D Em
Brightly shown the moon that night,
C G C D7 G
Though the frost was cruel,
C G Em A
When a poor man came in sight,
G D7 G B7 Em C G
Gathering winter fue l.
G Em D G C D
Hither, page, and stand by me.
C G C D7 G
If thou know it telling:
Em D G C D
Yonder peasant, who is he?
C G C D7 G
Where and what his dwelling?
D7 G D G D Em
Sire, he lives a good league hence,
C G C D7 G
Underneath the mountain,
C G Em A
Right against the forest fence
G D7 G B7 Em C G
By Saint Agnes fountain.
G Em D G C D
Bring me flesh, and bring me wine.
C G C D7 G
Bring me pine logs hither.
Em D G C D
Thou and I will see him dine
C G C D7 G
When we bear the thither.
D7 G D G D Em
Page and monarch, forth they went,
C G C D7 G
Forth they went to gether
C G Em A
Through the rude wind's wild lament

And the bitter we ather.

Sire, the night is darker now,

And the wind blows stronger.

I can go no longer.

Ark my footsteps my good page,
C G C D7 G
Tread thou in them boldly:
C G Em A
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
G D7 G B7 Em C G
Freeze thy blood less coldly.
G Em D G C D
In his master's step he trod,
C G C D7 G
Where the snow lay dented.
Em D G C D
Heat was in the very sod
C G C D7 G
Which the saint had printed.
D7 G D G D Em
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
C G C D7 G
Wealth or rank possessing,
C G Em A
Ye who now will bless the poor
G D7 G B7 Em C G
Shall yourselves find blessing.
