The Irish Rovers, "Good King Wenceslas" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary:
"Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Deep and crisp and even…
"Therefore Christian men be sure,
Wealth or rank possessing,
He who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing."
