Christmas Carols - Good King Wenceslas Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Good King Wenceslas looked out
  • On the feast of Stephen,
  • When the snow lay round about,
  • Deep and crisp and even.
  • Brightly shown the moon that night,
  • Though the frost was cruel,
  • When a poor man came in sight,
  • Gathering winter fuel.
  • Hither, page, and stand by me.
  • If thou know it telling:
  • Yonder peasant, who is he?
  • Where and what his dwelling?
  • Sire, he lives a good league hence,
  • Underneath the mountain,
  • Right against the forest fence
  • By Saint Agnes fountain.
  • Bring me flesh, and bring me wine.
  • Bring me pine logs hither.
  • Thou and I will see him dine
  • When we bear the thither.
  • Page and monarch, forth they went,
  • Forth they went together
  • Through the rude wind's wild lament
  • And the bitter weather.
  • Sire, the night is darker now,
  • And the wind blows stronger.
  • Fails my heart, I know not how.
  • I can go no longer.
  • Ark my footsteps my good page,
  • Tread thou in them boldly:
  • Thou shalt find the winter's rage
  • Freeze thy blood less coldly.
  • In his master's step he trod,
  • Where the snow lay dented.
  • Heat was in the very sod
  • Which the saint had printed.
  • Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
  • Wealth or rank possessing,
  • Ye who now will bless the poor
  • Shall yourselves find blessing
