Good King Wenceslaus looked out
F C
On the feast of Stephen
When the snow lay ''round about
F C
Deep and crisp and even
Am
Brightly shone the moon that night
F C
Though the frost was cruel
Am F G
When a poor man came in sight
C F C
Gathering winter fu-u-el
"Hither, page, and stand by me
F C
If thou knowest it, telling
Yonder peasant, who is he?
F C
Where and what his dwelling?"
Am
"Sire, he lives a good league hence
F C
Underneath the mountain
Am F G
Right against a forest fence
C F C
By Saint Agnes'' fou-oun-tain"

Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I shall see him dine

When we bear them thither"

Through the rude wind''s wild lament

And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how

I can go no longer"

"Mark my footsteps, my good page

Tread thou in them boldly
Am F G
Thou shalt find the winter''s rage
C F C
Freeze thy blood less co-old-ly"

Therefore, Christian men, be sure

Wealth or rank possessing
Am F G
Ye who now will bless the poor
C F C
Shall yourselves find ble-es-sing
