Hymns

Im finstern Stall, o Wunder gross
O Miracle of Love and Might
Macht hoch die Thür
Behold, He Cometh from Afar
Behold, One Cometh from Afar
Fling Wide the Door
Fling Wide the Portals of Your Heart
Lift Up, Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Gates
Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates
Mighty Gates of Earth Unbar, The
O Blest the Souls, for Ever Blest
O Hallowed Is the Land and Blest
Wo ist dein Stachel nun, o Tod?
O Death! Where Is Thy Cruel Sting?
