1For thy mercy and thy grace
2Kindly spring again is here
3Lift your hidden faces
4Spring has now unwrapped the flowers
5Spring bursts today
6The year’s at the spring
7Summer suns are glowing
8The summer days are coming again
9Come, ye thankful people, come
10Fair waved the golden corn
11Fields of corn, give up your ears
12Let us with a gladsome mind
13To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise
14We plow the fields, and scatter
15The year is swiftly waning
16Tis winter now; the fallen snow
17All the scenes of nature quicken
18By the breadth of the blue
19Hark, my soul! how everything
20Thou art, O God, the life and light
21When spring unlocks the flowers
22Most glorious Lord of life, that on this day
23This is the day the Lord hath made
24At thy feet, O Christ, we lay
25Awake, my soul, and with the sun
26Christ, whose glory fills the skies
27Come, thou bright and morning star
28Father, we praise thee, now the night is over
29Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go
30Morning has broken
31New every morning is the love
32Now the morn new light is pouring
33O splendor of God’s glory bright
34So here hath been dawning
35The splendors of thy glory, Lord
36When virgin morn doth call thee to arise
37Ye clouds and darkness, hosts of night
38You that have spent the silent night
39Behold us, Lord, a little space
40Blest are the moments, doubly blest
41And now the wants are told, that brought
42At even, ere the sun was set
43Behold the sun, that seemed but now
44Creator of the earth and sky
45Glory to thee, my God, this night
46God, that madest earth and heaven
47Holy Father, cheer our way
48Now God be with us
49Now the day is over
50O gladsome light, O grace
51O Trinity of blessed Light
52Round me falls the night
53Savior, again to thy dear name we raise
54Savior, shed an evening blessing
55Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear
56The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended
57The duteous day now closeth
58The night is come like to the day
59Ah, think not, “The Lord delayeth’
60Christ is the world’s true Light
61Hark, a herald voice is calling
62Hark the glad sound! the Savior comes
63High o’er the lonely hills
64Hills of the north, rejoice
65Lo, he comes with clouds descending
66O come, O come Emmanuel
67On Jordan’s bank the Baptist’s cry
68The advent of our GodST. THOMAS
69With Jesus for hero, for teacher and friend
70A great and mighty wonder
71Angels, from the realms of glory
72Behold, the great Creator makes
73Christians, awake! salute the happy morn
74Hark, the herald angels sing
75In the bleak midwinter
76It came upon the midnight clear
77It was the calm and silent night
78O come, all ye faithful
79O little town of Bethlehem
80The holy Son of God most high
81Thou whose birth on earth
82While shepherds watched their flocks by night
83As with gladness men of old
84Bethlehem, of noblest cities
85Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
86By weary stages
87Hail to the Lord’s Anointed
88Hark, how all the welkin rings
89Hearts at Christmas time
90How brightly beams the Morning Star
91In Asia born, from Asia hailed
92Love came down at Christmas
93O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
94The greatness of God in his love has been shown
95The Lord is come! On Syrian soil
96The race that long in darkness pined
97Forty days and forty nights
98Now quit your care
99Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended
100Be thou my guardian and my guide
