Comfort Ye My People
Ev’ry Valley Shall Be Exalted
And the Glory of the Lord
Behold, a Virgin Shall Conceive
O Thou, That Tellest Good Tidings to Zion
The People that Walked in Darkness
For Unto Us a Child Is Born
There Were Shepherds Abiding in the Fields
And Lo, the Angel of the Lord
And Suddenly there was with the Angel
Glory to God
Rejoice Greatly
Hallelujah
