    Good 
    King 
    Wenceslaus 

    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'st it 
    telling, 

    Yonder 
    peasant, 
    who is 
    he, 

    Where and 
    what his 
    dwelling? 

    Sire, 
    he lives 
    on 
    Woodley 
    Pence, 

    Underneath 
    the 
    mountain, 

    Rid
    ing 
    against 
    the forest 
    fence 

    by Saint 
    Agnes' 
    foun
    tain 

    Bring 
    me 
    flesh and 
    bring me 
    wine, 

    bring me 
    pine logs 
    hither 

    Thou 
    and 
    I will 
    see him 
    dine 

    when we 
    bathe in 
    thither 

    Page 
    and monarch 
    forth they 
    went, 

    forth they 
    went to
    gether 

    Through 
    the 
    rude winds 
    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. 

    In his 
    master's 
    steppe he 
    trod, 

    where the 
    snow lay 
    din
    ted. 

    Heat was 
    in the 
    very 
    sod 

    which the 
    saint had 
    printed. 

    Therefore, 
    Christian 
    men, 

    be 
    sure, 
    wealth or 
    rank pos
    sessing, 

    Ye who 
    now will 
    bless the 
    poor 

    Shall 
    yourselves 
    find blessing! 

    Shall yourselves 
    find blessing!

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
