Good King Wenceslas Lyrics - Christmas Carols

Good King Wenceslas looked out 

on the feast of Stephen, 

when the snow lay round about, 

deep and crisp and even. 

Brightly shone 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. 

Mark my footsteps my good page, 

tread thou in them boldly: 

Thou shalt find the winter's rage 

freeze thy blood less coldly.

where the snow lay dented. 

Heat was in the very sod 

which the saint had printed.
