Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen
D A G D
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even

Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel
D G A G D G D
When a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fu-u-el
[Verse 2]
D A G D
Hither page and stand by me, if thou know'st it tellin'
D A G D
Yonder peasant who is he? where and what his dwelling?
D A G D
(Sire he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain)
D G A G D G D
(Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes' fou-oun-tain)
[Verse 3]
D A G D
Then bring me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither
D A G D
Thou and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither
D A G D
Page and monarch forth they went, forth they went together
D G A G D G D
Through the rude wind's wild lament and the bitter wea-ea-ther
[Verse 4]
D A G D
(Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger)
D A G D
(Fails my heart I know not how, I can go no longer)
D A G D
Mark my footsteps my good page, tread thou in them boldly
D G A G D G D
Thou shalt find the winter's rage, freeze thy blood less co-old-ly
[Verse 5]

In his master's steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted
D A G D
Heat was in the very sod, which the Saint had printed
D A G D
Therefore Christian men be sure, wealth or rank possessing
D G A G D G D
Ye who will now bless the poor, shall yourselves find ble-es-sing
