Good King Wenceslas looked out On the Feast of Stephen
G                 Em          C                  G
When the snow lay round about deep and crisp and even
G                  Em              C                    G
Brightly shone the moon that night though the frost was cruel

When a poor man came in sight gathering winter fu   -    el

G               Em         C                  G
Yonder peasant, who is he? where and what his dwelling?"
G                 Em                 C              G
"Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain;
G                 Em            C               G    Cadd9 G
Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes' foun  -    tain."

G                    Em            C                  G
"Bring me flesh, and bring me wine bring me pine logs hither;
G               Em            C                 G
Thou and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither."
G                 Em               C               G
Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together;
G                       Em          C              G  Cadd9 G
Through the rude wind's wild lament and the bitter wea  -   ther.

Verse 4:
G                   Em          C                  G

G                 Em            C           G
Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer."
G                   Em            C                  G
"Mark my footsteps, my good page; tread thou in them boldly.
G                   Em             C                     G   Cadd9 G
Thou shalt find the winter's rage, freeze thy blood less cold  -   ly."

Verse 5:
G               Em             C                  G
In his master's steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted.
G               Em       C                   G
Heat was in the very sod which the Saint had printed.
G                    Em            C                  G
Therefore, Christian men, be sure, wealth or rank pos-sessing;
G               Em              C                     G   Cadd9 G
Ye who will now bless the poor, shall yourselves find bles  -   sing.
