* Almighty God, Your Word Is Cast
Begin a Joyful Song
Behold Yon Wondrous Star
Blessed Father, Great Creator
Child of win** and Wrath I’m Born, A
Christians, the Glorious Hope Ye Know
Hark! What Mean Those Holy Voices?
Hark! What Mean Those Lamentations
In Israel’s Fame, by Silent Night
King o’er All Worlds the Savior Shone

Trembling with Tenderest Alarms
