G                               C               G
Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen
G                              C                  G
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even.
G        C         G         Em7    C                    G
Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel
G      C        Em7     D      G                Em7 C G
When a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel.


G                             C                   G
Hither page, and stand by me, if thou knowest it, telling
G                          C                  G
Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?
G        C       G           Em7    C              G
Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain
G     C           Em7    D      G            Em7 C G
Right against the forest fence, by St. Agnes fountain.


G                                 C                  G
Bring me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither
G                             C                 G
Thou and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither.
G        C        G          Em7   C                 G
Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together
G           C          Em7    D    G              Em7 C G
Through the rude winds wild lament and the bitter weather.

G                              C                  G
Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger
G                               C           G
Fails my heart, I know not how; I can go no longer.
G       C          G       Em7   C                    G
Mark my footsteps, my good page. Tread though in them boldly
G          C        Em7     D     G                     Em7 C G
Thou shall find the winters rage, freeze thy blood less coldly.


G                              C                  G
In his masters' steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted
G                         C                   G
Heat was in the very sod, which the saint had printed.
G          C      G       Em7   C                 G
Therefore, Women, men, be sure, wealth or rank possessing
G      C        Em7       D     G                     Em7 C G
Ye who now will bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing.
