Good King Wenceslas 歌詞

 

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

Gath'ring winter fuel

 

Hither page and stand by me

If thou know'st 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

 

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 shall find the winter's rage

Freeze thy blood less coldly

In his master's step he trod

 

Where the snow lay dinted

 

Heat was in the very sod

 

Which the Saint had printed

Therefore Christian men be sure

Wealth or rank possessing

Ye who now will bless the poor

 

 

Shall yourselves find blessing
