“Good King Wenceslas” is the first track from Tenth Avenue North’s first Christmas project, Decade the Halls, Vol. 1, making this the first decade, the 1920s. Though the song was written in 1853, the band decides to perform the song in an old fashion, “staticy” 1920s flare.
The song is based off the...
[Verse 1]
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
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gathering winter fuel
[Verse 2]
"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 a good league hence
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence
By Saint Agnes' fountain."
[Verse 3]
In his master's step 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
Oh, shall yourselves find blessing
Good King Wenceslas was written by Thomas Helmore & John Mason Neale.
