GOOD KING WENCESLAS  (Traditional)
GGood King WenceEmslas looked out COn the Feast of GStephen
GWhen the snow lay Emround about Cdeep and crisp and Geven
GBrightly shone the Emmoon that night Cthough the frost was Gcruel
GWhen a poor man Emcame in sight Cgathering winter Gfu   Cadd9-    Gel
G"Hither, page, and Emstand by me CIf thou know'st it, Gtelling,
GYonder peasant, Emwho is he? Cwhere and what his Gdwelling?"
G"Sire, he lives a Emgood league hence, Cunderneath the Gmountain;
GRight against the Emforest fence, Cby Saint Agnes' Gfoun  Cadd9-    Gtain."
G"Bring me flesh, and Embring me wine Cbring me pine logs Ghither;
GThou and I will Emsee him dine, Cwhen we bear them Gthither."
GPage and monarch, Emforth they went, Cforth they went Gtogether;
GThrough the rude wind's Emwild lament Cand the bitter Gwea  Cadd9-   Gther.
G"Sire, the night is Emdarker now, Cand the wind blows Gstronger;
GFails my heart, I Emknow not how, CI can go no Glonger."
G"Mark my footsteps, Emmy good page; Ctread thou in them Gboldly.
GThou shalt find the Emwinter's rage, Cfreeze thy blood less Gcold  Cadd9-   Gly."
GIn his master's Emsteps he trod, Cwhere the snow lay Gdinted.
GHeat was in the Emvery sod Cwhich the Saint had Gprinted.
GTherefore, Christian Emmen, be sure, Cwealth or rank pos-Gsessing;
GYe who will now Embless the poor, Cshall yourselves find Gbles  Cadd9-   Gsing.
