1This first day of the week saw earth
1aThis first day of the week saw earth
2Now from the slumbers of the night arising
3Father, we praise thee
4O blest Creator of the light
5O splendor of God's glory bright
6O great Creator of the sky
7O Light of the light, O Dayspring bright
8Earth's mighty Maker, whose command
9Creator, blest, thy servant's Guide
10O God, whose hand hath spread the sky
11Behold the golden dawn arise
12Almighty God, who from the flood
13Eternal Glory of the sky
14Maker of men, from heav'n, thy throne
15Each dawn, that sprinkles east with light
16O Trinity of blessed light
17O day of rest and gladness
18Now that the daylight fills the sky
19All praise to thee, my God, this night
20Before the ending of the day
21Hail, gladdening Light, of his pure glory poured
22O Christ, who art the Light and Day
23O gladsome light
24The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended
25Behold the Bridegroom cometh
26Come, thou long-expected Jesus
27Come, thou Redeemer of the earth
28Comfort, comfort ye my people
29Creator of the stars of night
30Gabriel's message does away
31Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding
32Hark, the glad sound! The Saviour comes
33Lo, he comes, with clouds descending
34O come, O come, Emmanuel
35On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
36O Word that goest forth on high
37Rejoice, rejoice, believers!
38Savior of the nations, come
39The advent of our God
40The King shall come when morning dawns
41Thou for ever our salvation
42Wake, O wake! with tidings thrilling
43A great and mighty wonder
44Ah! Lord God, the world's Creator
45Angels, from the realms of glory
46Angels we have heard on high
47Bright and joyful is the morn
48Ev'ry creature, by thee made
49From east to west, from shore to shore
50Good Christian men rejoice
51Hark, the herald angels sing
52He whom joyous shepherds praised
53I know a rosetree springing forth
54Jesu, the Father's only Son
55O come, all ye faithful
56Of the Father's love begotten
57Sing, O sing, this blessed morn
58The shepherds keep their flocks by night
59The first Nowell the angel did say
60While shepherds watched their flocks by night
61All praise to thee, O Lord
62As with gladness men of old
63Earth has many a noble city
64From God, by mystic Virgin birth
65Hail, thou Source of every blessing
66Songs of thankfulness and praise
67The only Son from heaven
68The race that long in darkness pined
69Thou who at Cana's wedding feast
70What star is this with beams so bright
71When Chris' sppearing was made known
72Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
73Alleluia, song of gladness
74(The strain) upraise of joy and praise
75A song, a song of gladness!
76By fruit, the ancient Foe's device
77Christian dost thou see them
78Fortydays with forty nights
79Jesu, Name all names above
80Lord, who throughout these forty days
81Now Christ, thou Sun of righteousness
82Now is the helaing time decreed
83O Jesu Christ, from thee began
84O kind Creator, bow thine ear
85Servant of God, remember
86The deep abyss of former sin
87The fast as taught by holy lore
88The glory of these forty days
89With broken heart and contrite sigh
90A most grieving Mother
91Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended
92Alone thou goest forth, O Lord
93My song is love unknown
94O sacred Head surrounded
95Thirty years among us dwelling
96The Royal Banners forward go
97All glory, laud, and honor to thee, Redeemer, King!
98Ride on! Ride on in majesty!
99O Redeemer hear us
