Traditional - words by John Mason Neale, music based on "Tempus adest floridum"

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_King_Wenceslas

lyrics

Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even,
Brightly shone the moon that night, tho' the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight, gath'ring winter fuel,

"Bring me flesh, and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither,
Thou and I shall see him dine, when we bear them thither.",
Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together,
Through the rude wind's wild lament and the bitter weather,

In his master's steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted,
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.
