Full Lyrics

VERSE 1 Good King Wenceslas looked out on the feast of Stephen When the snow lay round about deep and crisp and even Brightly shone the moon that night though the frost was cruel When a Poor man came in sight Gathering Winter fuel VERSE 2 Hither Page and stand by me If thou know'st it telling Yonder Peasant Who is he? Where & what is dwelling Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain Right against the forest fence By Saint Agnes fountain VERSE 3 Bring me flesh and bring me wine Bring me Pine logs hither Thou and I will See Him there When we bear them thither Page & monarch forth they went forth they went together Thro' the rude winds wild lament and the bitter weather VERSE 4 Sire the night is darker now And the wind blows stronger Fails my heart, I know not how I can go no longer Mark my footsteps good my page Trade thou in them boldly Thou shall find the winter's rage Freeze thy bloodless coldly VERSE 5 In his master's steps he trod Where the snow lay dinted Heat was in the very sod Which the saint he printed Therefore, Xtian men be strong Wealth or rank possessing Ye who now will bless the Poor Shall yourselves find Blessing
