Oh, come, all ye faithful
To shepherds as they watched by night
Now praise we Christ, the Holy one
Praise God the Lord, ye sons of men
People that in darkness sat
We Christians may rejoice today
We sing, Emmanuel, thy praise
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Across the sky the shades of night
Thou who roll's the year around
To God the anthem raising
While with ceaseless course the sun

O blessed day when first was poured
To the name of our salvation
Ancient law departs

Help us, O Lord! Behold, we enter
for thy mercy and thy grace
Now let us come before him
Our God, our help in ages past
O Lord, our Father, thanks to thee
Old year now hath passed away
Arise and shine in splendor
As with gladness men of old
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Hail, thou source of every blessing
O Jesus, King of glory
Star proclaims the King is here
O God of God, O light of light
Within the Father's house
Songs of thankfulness and praise
'Tis good, Lord, to be here
Angels from the realms of glory
In peace and joy I now depart
Thou light of gentile nations
In His temple now behold him
Jesus, I will ponder now
Enslaved by sin and bound in chains
Lamb goes uncomplaining forth
O dearest Jesus, what law hast thou broken
Jesus, grant that balm and healing
Jesus, refuge of the weary
Lamb of God, pure and holy
O Christ, thou lamb of God
Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light
Come to Calvary's holy mountain
Lord Jesus, thou art going forth.
Christ, the life of all the living
When o'er my sins I sorrow
Stricken, smitten, and afflicted
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
Sweet the moments, rich in blessing
Not all the blood of beasts
There is a fountain filled with blood
Glory be to Jesus
Go to dark Gethsemane
All glory, laud, and honor
Hosanna, loud hosanna
Ride on, ride on, in majesty
Death of Jesus Christ, our Lord
'Twas on that dark, that doleful night
Behold the lamb of god!
Savior, when in dust to thee
O darkest woe
Royal banners forward go
Jesus Christ, our Lord most holy
O perfect life of love!
Upon the cross extended
O sacred head, how wounded
Lord Jesus, we give thanks to thee
Throned upon the awe-full tree
When I survey the wondrous cross
Behold the savior of mankind
Our blessed savior seven times spoke
We sing the praise of him who died
On my heart imprint thine image
Seven words on the cross
Christ is arisen
Hallelujah! Jesus lives!
He is arisen! Glorious word!
Christ the Lord is risen again
Christ the Lord is risen today; alleluia!
Awake, my heart, with gladness
Christ the Lord is risen today
Abide with us, the day is waning
Christ Jesus lay in death's strong hands
I am content! My Jesus liveth still
Where will thou go since night draws near
He's risen, he's risen, Christ Jesus, the Lord
Jesus Christ is risen today, alleluia!
I know that my Redeemer lives
Jesus lives! The victory's won.
Welcome, happy morning!
Morning breaks upon the tomb
Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
Way of resurrection
Jesus Christ, my sure defense
Like the golden sun ascending
Ye sons and daughters of the King
Who is this that comes from Edom
Strife is o'er, the battle done
Lo, Judah's lion wins the strife
Hymn of glory let us sing
Hail the day that sees Him rise
Lo, God to heaven ascendeth
Draw us to thee
On Christ's ascension I now build
Oh, sing with exultation
See, the conqueror mounts in triumph
Head that once was crowned with thorns
Jesus, my great high priest
Hark! Ten thousand harps and voices
Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious
We thank thee, Jesus Christ, dearest friend
Come, Holy Ghost, God and Lord!
Come, Holy Spirit, come
Come, oh, come, thou quickening spirit
Come, Holy Ghost, in love
Oh, enter, Lord, thy temple
Holy Spirit, hear us
Holy Spirit, God of love
We now implore God the Holy Ghost
Let songs of praises fill the sky
Holy Ghost, with light divine
O Holy Spirit, enter in
Creator spirit, by whose aid
All glory be to God on high
All glory be to God alone
Come, thou almighty King
Father most holy, merciful, and tender
Father of heaven, whose love profound
Oh, that I had a thousand voices
Glory be to God the Father
God loved the world so that he gave
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
God the Father, be our stay
Father of glory, to thy name
Isaiah, mighty seer, in days of old.
Holy God, we praise thy name
We all believe in one true God
In one true God we all believe
Lord God, we all to thee give praise
Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright
Around the throne of God a band
Jesus, brightness of the Father
Lord of our life and God of our salvation
Flung to the heedless winds
O Lord, look down from heaven, behold
Lord, keep us steadfast in thy word
Mighty fortress is our God
O little flock, fear not the foe
Preserve thy word, O Savior
Thine honor save, O Christ, our Lord
O God, our Lord, thy holy word
If God had not been on our side
Zion mourns in fear and anguish
O Lord, our Father, shall we be confounded
Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Word supreme, before creation
When all the world was cursed
Sweet flowerets of the martyr band
Praise we the Lord this way
My soul doth magnify the Lord
Come unto me, ye weary
I heard the voice of Jesus say
Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near
today thy mercy calls us
Return, O wanderer, return
Savior calls; let every ear
Christians, come, in sweetest measures
God's word is our great heritage
Father of mercies, in thy word
How precious is the book divine
How shall the young secure their hearts
That man a godly life might live
Lord, help us ever to retain
Law commands and makes us know
We have a sure prophetic word
Lamp of our feet whereby we trace
Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide
O Holy Spirit, grant us grace
O word of God incarnate
Law of God is good and wise
Speak, O Lord, thy servant heareth
Gospel shows the Father's grace
Baptized into thy name most holy
Dear Father, who hast made us all
Dearest Jesus, we are here.
He that believes and is baptized
Savior kindly calls
This child we dedicate to thee
Awe-full mystery is here
Soul, adorn thyself with gladness
Lord Jesus Christ, thou has prepared
Draw high and take the body of the Lord
Invited, Lord, by boundless grace
O Jesus, blessed Lord, to thee
Thy table I approach
Jesus Christ, our blessed savior
Lord Jesus Christ, thou living bread
O Lord, we praise thee
Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray
I come, O Savior, to thy table
O living bread from heaven
Alas, my God, my sins are great
Before thee, God, who knowest all
In thee alone, O Christ, my Lord
Lord Jesus, think on me
O faithful God, thanks be to thee
And wilt thou pardon, Lord
With broken heart and contrite sigh
Jesus sinners doth receive
O thou that hear'st when sinners cry
Lord, to thee I make confession
Out of the deep I call
O Jesus, lamb of God, thou art
From depths of woe I cry to thee
I come to thee, O blessed Lord
Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith
Arm these thy soldiers, mighty Lord
Blessed Savior, who hast taught me
Let me be thine forever
My maker, be thou nigh
My God, accept my heart this day
Our Lord and God, oh, bless this day
Thine forever, God of love
All hail the power of Jesus' name
Awake, my soul, to joyful lays
Crown him with many crowns
Chief of sinners though I be
How lovely shines the morning star
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
Jesus, lover of my soul
Jesus! and shall it ever be
Jesus, priceless treasure
Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus
Jesus, thy boundless to me
Jesus, the very thought of thee.
Love divine, all love excelling
O Saviorm, precious Savior
Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior blest
In the cross of Christ I glory
Thou art the way; to thee alone
Jesus, Savior, come to me
Jesus, thou art mine forever
Lamb of God, we fall before thee
Christ, whose glory fills the skies
Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
O Jesus, King most wonderful
My soul's best friend, what joy and blessing
To our redeemer's glorious name
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
Jesus I will never leave
One thing's needful; Lord, this treasure
Hail, thou once despised Jesus
Lord my pasture shall prepare
All mankind fell in Adam's fall
My hope is built on nothing less
Jesus, thy blood and righteousness
Through Jesus' blood and merit
By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless
Grace! 'Tis a charming sound
If thy beloved son, O God
rock of ages, cleft for me
Salvation unto us has come
All that I was, my sin, my guilt
I do not come because my soul
Thy works, not mine, O Christ
I know my faith is founded
Lord, we confess our numerous faults
Seek where we may to find a way
Oh, how great is thy compassion
How I have found the firm foundation
My Savior sinners doth receive
Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice
Just as I am, without one plea
Not what these hands have done
Drawn to the cross, which thou has blest
Blessed are the sons of God
Blest is the man, forever blest
From God shall naught divide me
My faith looks up to thee
O God, thou faithful God
Oh, for a faith that will not shrink
O love, who madest me to wear
Renew me, O eternal light
Thee will I love, my strength, my tower.
Take my life and let it be
Praise to thee and adoration
O God, forsake me not
Savior, thy dying love
Soul, what return has God, thy Savior
I gave my life for thee
Lord, as thou will, deal thou with me
Farewell I gladly bid thee
Jesus Christ, my pride and glory
Let us ever walk with Jesus
Jesus, lead thou on
From eternity, O God
May we thy precepts, Lord, fulfil
I walk in danger all the way
Man is ever blest
Lo, many shall come from the East and the West
Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways
How can I thank thee, Lord
My God, my Father, while I stray
O'er Jerusalem thou weepest
My Jesus, as thou wilt
Come, follow me, the Savior spake
Savior, I follow on
Jesus, I my cross have taken
My God, my Father, make me strong
All depends on our possessing
Lord my shepherd is
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus
Lord, thee I love with all my heart
What is the world to me
King of love my shepherd is
In hope my soul, redeemed to bliss unending
Jesus, my truth, my way
O God of Jacob, by whose hand
My spirit on thy care
Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want
Who trusts in God, a strong abode
Almighty Father, heaven and earth
O God of mercy, God of might
Lord, lead the way the Savior went
We give thee but thine own
Lord of glory, who hast bought us
O Lord of heaven and earth and sea
Rise! To arms! With prayer employ you
Am I a soldier of the cross
Rise, my soul, to watch and pray
Fight the good fight with all thy might
Brief life is here our portion
My soul, be on thy guard
Soldiers of Christ, arise.
Stand up!- stand up for Jesus
Son of God goes forth to war
We are the Lord's; His all-sufficient merit
Prayer to the soul's sincere desire
Our heavenly Father, hear
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
What a friend we have in Jesus
Our father, thou in heaven above
Come, my soul, thy suit prepare
Behold the sure foundation-stone
Hark! the church proclaims her honor
I love thy kingdom, Lord
For all the saints who from their labors rest
Blest be the tie that binds
Christ is our corner-stone
Christ, thou art the sure foundation
Built on the rock the church doth stand
For all thy saints, O Lord
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Rise again, ye lion-hearted
Hark! the sound of holy voices
Rise, ye children of salvation
Church's one foundation
Zion stands by hills surrounded
Ye watchers and ye holy ones
Ten thousand times ten thousand
Lord Jesus, thou the church's head
Saints on earth and those above
Zion, rise, Zion, rise
Lord of the worlds above
Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Dear Lord, to thy true servants give
God of the prophets, bless the prophets' song
We bid thee welcome in the name
Lord Jesus, who art come
O thou whose feet have climbed life's hill
How beauteous are their feet
Lord of the harvest, hear
Lord of the church, we humbly pray
Pour out thy spirit from on high
Send, O Lord, thy holy spirit
Lord of the living harvest
Thou who the night in prayer didst spend
Awake, thou spirit, who didst fire
From Greenland's icy mountains
Hark! the voice of Jesus crying
Morning light is breaking
Rise, thou light of gentile nations
Look from thy sphere of endless day.
May God bestow on us his grace
Soldiers of the cross, arise
Saints of God, the dawn is brightening
Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise
O spirit of the living God
O'er the gloomy hills of darkness
Send thou, O Lord, to every place
Spread, oh, spread, thou mighty word
Thou whose almighty word
There still is room
Savior, sprinkle many nations
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
O Christ, our true and only light
Art thou weary, art thou troubled
God moves in a mysterious way
O thou from whom all goodness flows
In the hour of trial
Will of God is always best
If thou but suffer God to guide thee
Beloved, "It is well!"
Commit whatever grieves thee
What God obtains is always good
When in the hour of utmost need
Why should cross and trial grieve me
In thee, Lord, have I put my trust
As pants the hart for cooling streams
In God, my faithful God
Lord, it belongs not to my care
If God himself be for me
I leave all things to God's direction
Thy ways, O Lord, with wise design
Come, ye disconsolate
Thy way, not mine, O Lord
Nearer, my God, to thee
God of my life, to thee I call
Rejoice, my heart, be glad and sing
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Every morning mercies new
Now the shades of night are gone
Come, thou bright and morning star
With the Lord begin thy task
O blessed holy trinity
Sun arises now
When, streaming from the Eastern skies
While yet the morn is breaking
Morning sun is brightly beaming
How lovely shines the morning star
Radiant sun shines in the skies
My inmost heart now raises
God, who madest earth and heaven
O splendor of God's glory bright.
Sun of my soul, thou savior dear
Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide
Through the day thy love hath spared us
How rest beneath night's shadow
Day is past and over
O God, be with us
At even, when the sun did set
All praise to thee, my God, this night
O Christ, who art the light and day
Gracious God, again is ended
Now that the day hath reached its close
Round me falls the night
Sun's last beam of light is gone
O trinity, most blessed light
Savior, breathe an evening blessing
Christ, by heavenly hosts adored
O Lord, whose bounteous hand again
We praise thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator
O Lord, I sing with lips and heart
Praise, Oh, praise, our God and King
What our father does is well
Praise to God, immortal praise
To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise
Come, ye thankful people, come
Before the Lord we bow
Jude eternal, throned in splendor
God bless our native land
Lord, while for all mankind we pray
Almighty Lord, before thy throne
To thee, our God, we fly
All ye who on this earth do dwell
God, Lord of Sabbaoth, thou who ordainest
Great king of nations, hear our prayer
Swell the anthem, raise the song
I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds
Pilgrim and a stranger
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep
I would not live always; I ask not to stay
Oh, how blest are ye whose toils are ended
In the midst of earthly life
Jesus, I live to thee
I know of a sleep in Jesus' name
Why do we mourn departing friends
When my last hour is close at hand
Tender shepherd, thou hast stilled
This body in the grave we lay
For me to live is Jesus
Who knows when death may overtake me
My course is run, praise God, my course is run
O Lord, my God, I cry to thee.
All men living are but mortal
It is not death to die
In the resurrection
Great God, what do I see and hear?
World is very evil
O'er the distant mountains breaking
Day of wrath, O day of mourning
Let thoughtless thousands choose the road
Wake, awake, for night is flying
And will the judge descend
Day is surely drawing near
That day of wrath, that dreadful day
Jerusalem the golden
For thee, O dear, dear country
Rest remaineth for the weary
Forever with the Lord
There is an hour of peaceful rest
Jerusalem, my happy home
Jerusalem, thy city fair and high
Lord, who at Cana's wedding-feast
O Father, all creating
Voice that breathed o'er Eden
O perfect love
O blessed home where man and wife
Oh, blest the house, whate'er befall
O happy home where thou art loved most dearly
Gracious Savior, gentle shepherd
Shepherd of tender youth
Let children hear the mighty deeds
Ye parents, hear what Jesus taught
Savior, who thy flock art feeding
In the name which earth and heaven
O Lord of hosts, whose glory fills
Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne
Here in thy name, eternal God
Great is the Lord, our God
Founded on thee, our only God
In loud, exalted strains
For many years, O God of grace
God the Father, Son, and Spirit
One thy light, the temple filling
Arise, O God, and shine
Holy Father, in thy mercy
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow
Behold, a branch is growing
Silent night! Holy night!
O little town of Bethlehem
I am Jesus' little lamb
Behold a stranger at the door.
Be still, my soul
I lay my sins on Jesus
How the light has gone away
Now the day is over
I pray thee, dear Lord Jesus
Behold a host, arrayed in white
Beautiful Savior
Onward, Christian soldiers
Feed thy children, God most holy
I'm but a stranger here
Litany
Dominus regit me
Bonum est confiteri
De profundis
Levivi oculos
Jubilate deo
Cantate domino
Beati pauperes.
