303Thou, whose almighty word
304All the past we leave behind
305Little things that run and quail
306Men, whose boast it is that ye
307O brother man, fold to thy heart
308O God of earth and altar
309Once to every man and nation
310The day of the Lord is at hand, at hand
311The world’s great age begins anew
312These things shall be! A loftier race
313Through all the long dark night of years
314When wilt thou save the people?
315With wonderful, deathless ditties
316England, arise! the long, long night is over
317God of our fathers, known of old
318God save our gracious Queen
319I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above
320Lord, while for all mankind we pray
321Men of England, who inherit
322O beautiful, my country
323O Lord almighty, thou whose hands
324The Queen, O God, her heart
325What heroes thou hast bred
326Father eternal, ruler of creation
327Sound over all waters, reach out from all lands
328The night is ended and the morning nears
329Turn back, O Man, forswear
330Father all-seeing, friend of all creation
331Thine are all the gifts, O God
332We give thee but thine own
333Lord, behold us with thy blessing
334God be with you till we meet again
335O welcome in our midst
336Eternal Father, strong to save
337Lord, in the hollow of thy hand
338Father of men, in whom are one
339Son of God, eternal Savior
340Father, who on man dost shower
341Quick sympathy, hands that brought health
342Lord of life, who once wast cradled
343Lord God, from whom all life
344Lord, who didst send, by two and two before thee
345Working together, wary and strong
346Lord, from whose hand we take our charge
347Father, to thee we look in all our sorrow
348In this world, the Isle of Dreams
349Lord of our life, and God of our salvation
350Now thank we all our God
351O praise ye the Lord! praise him in the height
352A little child on the earth has been born
353Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
354Daisies are our silver
355Father, we thank thee for the night
356Gentle Jesus, meek and mild
357God my Father, loving me
358God who made the earth
359God whose Name is love
360Hark, a hundred notes are swelling
361I love God’s tiny creatures
362In another land and time
363Jesus, Friend of little children
364Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me
365Little drops of water
366Loving Shepherd of thy sheep
367O dear and lovely Brother
368Once in royal David’s city
369Remember all the people
370Savior, teach me day by day
371Sing to the Lord the children’s hymn
372The shepherds had an angel
373The wise may bring their learning
374Thou who once on mother’s knee
375Through the night thy angels kept
376To God who makes all lovely things
377When a knight won his spurs
378When lamps are lighted in the town
379When the herds were watching
380Winter creeps
381From out of a wood did a cuckoo fly
382Hush! my dear, lie still and slumber
383Little Jesus, sweetly sleep
384The first Nowell the angel did say
385Unto us a boy is born
386Here we come with gladness
387Of the Father’s love begotten
388From the eastern mountains
390Welcome, day of the Lord
391Holy Spirit, make us strong
392At the Name of Jesus
393City of Peace, our mother dear
394Forward through the ages
395Jerusalem, my happy home (complete)
396O Father above us, our father in might
397Onward, Christian soldiers
398The God of Abraham praise
399Day by day
400Dear Father, keep me through this day
401Enrich, Lord, heart, mouth, hands in me
402Here a little child I stand
403Our Father, for our daily bread
