Verse 1
G G 
 
Good King Wenceslas looked out
C C 
 
G G 
 
On the Feast of Stephen
When the snow lay 'round about
C C 
 
G G 
 
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
C C 
 
G G 
 
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight

Verse 2
Gath'ring winter fuel
C C 
 
"Hither, page, and stand by me,
If thou know'st it, telling
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?"
G G 
 
"Sire, he lives a good league hence,
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence

Verse 3
By Saint Agnes' fountain."
G G 
 
"Bring me flesh and bring me wine
C C 
 
G G 
 
Bring me pine- logs hither
Thou and I shall see him dine
C C 
 
G G 
 
When we bear them thither."
Page and monarch, forth they went
C C 
 
G G 
 
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wild lament
C C 
 
And the bitter weather.

Verse 4
G G 
 
"Sire, the night is darker now
C C 
 
G G 
 
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how
C C 
 
G G 
 
I can go no longer."
C C 
 
G G 
 
"Mark my footsteps, good my page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shall find the winter's rage
C C 
 
Freeze thy blood less coldly."

Verse 5
C C 
 
G G 
 
In his master's step he trod
C C 
 
G G 
 
Where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
C C 
 
G G 
 
Which the Saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
C C 
 
G G 
 
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye, who now will bless the poor
C C 
 
Shall yourselves find blessing.
