Good King Wenceslas

G D G C D G 1. Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen, D G C D G when the snow lay 'round about, deep and crisp and even. D G C D G Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel, D Em D C D Em CG when a poor man came in sight, gath'ring winter fu...el. G D G C D G 2. "Hither, page, and stand by me, if thou know'st it, telling ! D G C D G Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?" D G C D G "Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain. D Em D C D Em C G Right against the forest fence by Saint Agnes' fountain." G D G C D G 3. "Bring me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither. D G C D G Thou and I shall see him dine, when we bear them thither." D G C D G Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together, D Em D C D Em C G through the rude wind's wild lament and the bitter weather. G D G C D G 4. "Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger. D G C D G Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer." D G C D G "Mark my footsteps, good my page, tread thou in them boldly. D Em D C D Em C G Thou shall find the winter's rage freeze thy blood less co..ldly." G D G C D G 5. In his master's step he trod, where the snow lay dinted. D G C D G Heat was in the very sod which the Saint had printed. D G C D G Therefore, Christian men, be sure, wealth or rank possessing. D Em D C D Em C G Ye, who now will bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing.
