[Verse]
EGood King Wenceslas last looked out
AOn the Bfeast of EStephen
EWhen the snow lay round about
ADeep and Bcrisp and Eeven
EBrightly shown the moon that night
AThough the Bfrost was Ecruel
When a poor man came in F#msight
EGathering winter AfuelE... B
[Verse]
"EHither, page, and stand by me
AIf thou Bknowst it Etelling
EYonder peasant, who is he?
AWhere and Bwhat his Edwelling?"
"ESire, he lives a good league hence
AUnderBneath the Emountain
Right against the forest F#mfence
EBy Saint Agnes AfounEtain" B
[Verse]
"EBring me flesh, and bring me wine
ABring me Bpine logs Ehither
EThou and I will see him dine
AWhen we Bbear the Eriver"
EPage and monarch, forth they went
AForth they Bwent toEgether
Through the rude wind's wild laF#mment
EAnd the bitter AweaEther Am D G
[Verse]
"GSire, the night is darker now
CAnd the Dwind blows Gstronger
GFails my heart, I know not how
CI can Dgo no Glonger"
"GHark my footsteps my good page
CTread thou Din them Gboldly
Thou shalt find the winter's Amrage
GFreeze thy blood less CcoldGly" D

GIn his master's step he trod
CWhere the Dsnow lay Gdented
GHeat was in the very sod
CWhere the Dsaint had Gprinted
GTherefore, Christian men, be sure

Ye who now will bless the Ampoor
GShall yourselves find CblesGsing
