^FGood King Wenceslas looked out ^FOn the feast of Stephen ^FWhen the snow lay round about ^CDeep and crisp and ^Feven

^CThough the frost was ^Fcruel When a poor man ^Ccame in sight ^FGathering winter fuel ^{C F}

^FHither, page, and stand by me ^BbIf thou know it ^Ftelling: ^FYonder peasant, who is he? ^FWhere and what his dwelling? ^FSire, he lives a good league hence Underneath the ^Bbmountain Right against the ^Fforest fence ^FBy Saint Agnes fountain

^FBring me flesh, and bring me wine ^FBring me pine logs hither ^FThou and I will see him dine ^BbWhen we bear the ^Fthither ^FPage and monarch, forth they went ^FForth they went together Through the rude wind's ^Cwild lament And the bitter ^Fweather

^FSire, the night is darker now ^BbAnd the wind blows ^Fstronger ^FFails my heart, I know not how ^BbI can go no ^Flonger ^CArk my footsteps ^Fmy good page ^CTread thou in them ^Fboldly: ^CThou shalt find the winter's rage Freeze thy blood less ^Fcoldly ^{Bb C}

^FIn his master's step he trod ^FWhere the snow lay dented ^FHeat was in the very sod ^CWhich the saint had ^Fprinted ^FTherefore, Christian men, be sure ^CWealth or rank possessing ^FYe who now will bless the poor ^CShall yourselves find ^Bbble-es^Fsing ^{C F}
