Good King Wencelas (Walking In The Light)

[Verse 1] Good King Wencil Las looked out, On the Feast of Stephen, Cold wind blowin’ all about, Night so dark and heavin’. But through the storm he saw a man, Shiverin’ in the weather— “Child,” he said, “we walk in love, Let’s bring this soul together.” [Verse 2] “Hither, page, and stand by me, Tell me true and steady— Know you where that poor man lives? Is your heart here ready?” “Lord, I know the place he lies, Snow has nearly drowned him— But if you lead on with your light, I’ll follow right behind you.” [Verse 3] “Bring him comfort, bring him peace, Bring a little fire, Bread and meat to warm his bones, Lift his spirit higher.” So they stepped into the storm, Wind was bold and bitin’— But every step the good king made, Made the night feel brighter. [Verse 4] “Master, master, how can I Stand against this weather? Cold has crept into my bones— I can’t go no further.” “Step in my tracks, my faithful one, Feel the heat inside them— Walk in the light I’m walkin’ in, Let love and grace now guide you.” [Verse 5 – Soul Ending] So the page walked in his steps, Found his strength renewin’— Where the king brought warmth and hope, He felt the Spirit movin’. Therefore all ye gentlefolk, Hear this Christmas even: Lift the poor and lift the lost— Walk in the light He’s givin’.
