Good King Wenceslas - Choirs of Bath/Winchester Cathedral

Written by:Thomas Helmore/John Mason Neale/Traditional

Good King Wenceslas looked out

 

On the feast of Stephen

 

When the snow lay round about

Deep and crisp and even

 

Brightly shown 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

 

Ark my footsteps my good page

 

Tread thou in them boldly

 

Thou shalt find the winter's rage

 

Freeze thy blood less coldly

 

In his master's step he trod

 

Where the snow lay dented

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
