Good King Wenceslas chords by The Slingsby Hornets
Verse 1
G
Who came whence the last will down
On the feast of Sivan?
When the snow lay round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
Where that poor man came in sighs,
gathering winter fuel

and the bitter weather
By the night is darker now,

Mark my footsteps, good my page,
Read thou in them boldly,
Thou shalt find the winter's rage,
Raise thy bloodless coldly.
