Abide with me (last two verses) Abide with me

All creatures of our God and King Lasst uns erfreuen
Amazing Grace Amazing Grace
And can it be Sagina
Angel voices ever singing Angel Voices
Brightest and best Epiphany
Christ is made the sure foundation Westminster Abbey
Christ is our cornerstone Harewood
Christ the Lord is risen today Victimae Paschali
Come ye thankful people St George’s Windsor
Crown him with many crowns Diademata
Forty days & forty nights Heinlein
Guide me O thou great redeemer Cwm Rhonda
Immortal, invisible St Denio
In our day of thanksgiving St Catherine’s Court
It came upon the midnight clear Noel
Jesus Christ is ris’n today Easter Hymn
Let all the world Luckington
Lift high the cross Crucifer
Lo, He comes with clouds descending Helmsley
Love Divine Blaenwern
Love Divine Love Divine
Now thank we all our God Nun Danket
Of the Father’s love Divinum Mysterium
On Jordan's bank Winchester New
O young and fearless prophet Llangloffan
Praise to the Holiest Somervell
Praise to the Lord Lobe den Herren
Rejoice, the Lord is King Gopsal
Take up thy cross Bourbon
The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended St Clement
The strife is o'er Victory
Thine be the glory Maccabeus
Thou didst leave thy throne Margaret
Thou whose almighty word Moscow
To God be the glory To God be the Glory
Unto us a boy is born Puer Nobis
When I survey the wondrous cross Rockingham
While shepherds watched Winchester Old
Who are these like stars appearing All Saints
Ye servants of God Lyons
All my hope on God is founded *** Michael
For all the saints *** Sine Nomine
Glorious things of thee are spoken *** Abbot’s Leigh
New songs of celebration render Rendez a Dieu
We have a gospel to proclaim Fulda
When in our music God is glorified Engleberg
