Lyrics:
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, gath’ring winter fuel.

2. “Hither, page, and stand by me, if you know 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.”

3. “Bring me food and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither,
You and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither.”
Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together,
Through the cold wind’s wild lament and the bitter weather.

4. “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 now in them boldly,
You shall find the winter’s rage freeze your blood less coldly.”

5. 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, while God’s gifts possessing,
You who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing.

When choosing parts, remember that part 1 will normally contain the melody. For the harmony to be complete, you should also have at least one player on each of the parts, UNLESS you have chosen to include a keyboard instrument, which will contain the complete harmony. So possible combinations may be:

1. Solo instrument (part 1) + keyboard.
2. Solo instrument (part 1) + second player (either part 2, 3 or 4) + keyboard.
3. Instruments on all four parts (no keyboard).
4. Instruments on all four parts + keyboard.

Remember, you can build out very large combinations by doubling parts. For example, a symphony orchestra would look something like this:

Part 1: flute, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, violin.
Part 2: flute, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, violin.
Part 3: clarinet, bassoon, horn, trombone, viola.
Part 4: bassoon, bass clarinet, trombone, tuba, cello, double bass.
