[00:00.46]Good king wenceslas looked out
[00:03.66]On the feast of stephen
[00:07.25]When the snow lay 'round about
[00:10.75]Deep and crisp and even
[00:14.13]Brightly shone the moon that night
[00:17.54]Though the frost was cruel
[00:21.19]When a poor man came in sight
[00:24.76]Gathering winter fuel
[00:30.53]
[00:31.47]Hither page and stand by me
[00:34.99]If thou knows it telling
[00:38.46]Yonder peasant who is he
[00:42.05]Where and what his dwelling
[00:45.75]Sire he lives a good league hence
[00:49.37]Underneath the mountain
[00:52.85]Right against the forest fence
[00:56.37]By saint agnes's fountain
[01:01.52]
[01:02.58]Bring me flesh and bring me wine
[01:06.15]Bring me fur logs hither
[01:09.51]Thou and i will see him dine
[01:13.20]When we bear them thither
[01:16.70]Page and monarch forth they went
[01:20.43]Forth they went together
[01:23.94]Through the rude wind's wild lament
[01:27.46]And the bitter weather
[01:33.35]
[01:34.16]Sire the night is darker now
[01:37.90]And the wind blows stronger
[01:41.60]Fails my heart i know not how
[01:45.44]I can go no longer
[01:49.35]Mark my footsteps good my page
[01:52.86]Tread thou in them boldly
[01:56.56]Thou shall find the winter's rage
[02:00.17]Freeze thy blood less coldly
[02:06.39]
[02:07.41]In his master's steps he trod
[02:10.77]Where the snow lay dinted
[02:14.48]Heat was in the very sod
[02:17.98]Which the saint had printed
[02:21.64]Therefore christian men be sure
[02:25.15]Wealth or rank possessing
[02:28.92]Ye who now will bless the poor
[02:33.16]Shall yourselves find blessing
