    Here is our version of the classic Christmas Song, "Good King Wenceslaus"
    We hope you enjoy it:)
    My brother arranged the piece. My family sang it.
    Please no bad language in the comments. We want this to be family friendly:)
    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.
    "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.".
    "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.
    "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 thou in them boldly
    Thou shalt find the winter's rage freeze thy blood less coldly."
    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.

    One of my favorite Christmas songs of all time. The first time I heard the song was when I was a child and carolers from the church came to the house the day before Christmas Eve. This song was actually featured in a book that was part of a series I read through high school. It was the late Gordon R. Dickson's series 'The Dragon and the George' and the book was the fourth in the series 'The Dragon, The Earl, and The Troll' which took place during a Christmas setting.

      @@bv5998 Well, historically precisely, he wasn't a king, but "only" a duke, which was a lower title in that time (9./10. century), to be king, you had to "deserve" crown and officialy obtain it from "a higher instance" - emperor (first czech monarch, who achieved the crown, was Vratislav in 1084). Wenceslaus was canonized shortly after his death and he became patron of czech state, but today people have assorted opinions of him, as he have probably paid money to Henry the Fowler, king of East Francia, not to be occupied by him.

    Better then any modern songs, much more depth and rhythm. Laudate Clamavi de Profundis, Laudate!

    I use to listen only Middle Earth songs by you guys but this Carol is fantastic! You made the best version! Please continue in what are you doing because you and your songs are incredible!

    And I was just wondering when Clamavi De Profundis would upload. It's beautiful.

    Beautiful rendition! I don't think I've ever heard all the lyrics before. Certainly not in an official recording. I love the use of different voices for each character!😍😍
