A
A baby was born in Bethlehem
A great and mighty wonder
Ain't nothing like it
All hail King Jesus!
All my heart this night rejoices
A long time ago
Amazing grace
   Amazing grace - I was homeless
Angels from the realms of glory
Angels we have heard on high
Angel-voices ever singing
   Anno Domini
   Arise, shine!
A special star
   A starry night
As with gladness men of old
Away in a manger

B
   Beautiful night
Behold, the great Creator makes
Born in the night, Mary's child
Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light
Brightest and best

C
Call his name
Can you believe it
Can you see what we have made
Carols sing
C is for the Christ Child
Child in the manger
Child of the stable's secret birth
Christians, awake!
Christmas bells that ring
   Christmas calypso
Christmas is a time to love
Christmas isn't Christmas
Christmas, it's Christmas
Christmas without Jesus
Come and join the celebration
Come and praise the Lord our King
Come, come, come to the manger
Come now with awe
Come sing the sweet song of the ages
Come, thou long-expected Jesus
Come, watch with us
   Coventry Carol
Crackers and turkeys
Cradled in a manger
Cradle rocking

D
Darkness like a shroud
Deck the hall
Ding, dong, merrily on high
Down from his glory

E
Each gave him no welcome
Earth lies spellbound
Emmanuel
Emmanuel, God is with us
Every Christmas

F
For unto us a child is born
For unto us a child is born
From heaven above
From heaven you came
From the heights of glory
From the squalor of a borrrowed stable

G
Gentle Mary laid her child
Girls and boys, leave your toys
Glory be to God on high
   Glory to God
Glory to God in the highest
God came among us
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Good Christian people
Good Christians, all rejoice
Good King Wenceslas
Good news
Good news of great joy
Go, tell it on the mountain

H
Hail to the Lord's anointed
Hallelu, hallelu, hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, my Father
Happy day of great rejoicing
Hark, the glad sound!
Hark, the herald-angels sing
Hark to the story
   Have we any room for Jesus?
Hear the sound of people singing
Heaven invites you to a party
   Heaven's gift of love
He came in love to bring hope
Hee, haw! Hee, haw!
He is born, our Lord and Saviour
Here we come to Bethlehem
His name, his name
Holy child
Holy, holy Lord
How far it is to Bethlehem?

I
   Immanuel
Immanuel, God is with us
Immanuel, O Immanuel
In a very ordinary stable
Infant holy, infant lowly
In the bleak midwinter
In the firelight
   In the stable
Into the darkness the light has broken
I saw three ships
It came upon a midnight clear
   It's Christmas time again
It's the time
It was on a starry night
I wonder as I wander

J
Jesus, baby Jesus
Jesus born in Bethlehem
Jesus Christ the Lord is born
Jesus, hope of every nation
   Jesus is born
Jesus, my Saviour
Jesus, name above all names
Journey to Bethlehem
Joyful, joyful, we adore thee
Joy to all the world
Joy to the world

K
Kings came riding

L
Let earth and heaven combine
Let me tell you about a baby
Let there be singing
   Light of the world
Light shining in the darkness
Like a candle flame
Little donkey
Little Jesus, sweetly sleep
Long ago and far away
Long ago, the prophets knew
Long ago there was born
Long time ago in Bethlehem
Look away to Bethlehem
   Look no further
Look to the skies
Lord, make me thankful
Lord, you left your throne
Love came down at Christmas
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child

M
Mary had a baby
Mary had a little baby
Mary, Joseph, manger and straw
   Mary's boy child
   Mary's child
Mary shivers
   Mary woke with a start one night
Meekness and majesty
My soul doth magnify the Lord

N
No gift so wonderful
No room at the inn
No room for the Saviour
   Nothing will ever be the same
Now dawns the sun of righteousness

O
O Christmas tree
O come, all ye faithful
O come and join the dance
O come, O come Emmanuel
Of the Father's heart begotten
Oh, come, little children
Oh town of Bethlehem
O little one sweet, O little one mild
O little town of Bethlehem
Once in royal David's city
Once upon a universe
On Christmas night all Christians sing
Over the world this Christmas morn
O what a gift!
O what a mystery I see
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness

P
Past three o'clock
Peace to you
People waken, open your eyes

R
   Riding high
Riding high and low
Ring out the bells
   Rise up, shepherd, and follow
Rumours of angels

S
See, amid the winter's snow
See him lying on a bed of straw
   Seeking for me!
See, to us a child is born
Shepherds found him
Silently we watch
Silent night
Since the day the angel came
Sing, all the earth
Sing and celebrate
   Sing a song about Christmas
   Sing Hosannas
Sing lullaby!
Sleep, holy child
So many centuries
   Somebody's birthday
   Song for Christingle
   Song of Immanuel

T
   Tell out, tell out the news
Thank you, Jesus
The angel Gabriel came from heaven
   The candle song
   The Christmas child
   The donkey's Christmas carol
The First Nowell
   The giving song
The God we seek
The holly and the ivy
   The Holy Gospel
The light of Christ
The promised time arrives
The race that long in darkness pined
There's a special feeling
There's a star
There's a star in the East
There was no room in Bethlehem
   The Servant King
The shepherds found the stable
The Virgin Mary had a baby boy
The wise may bring their learning
The wise men offer their gifts to him
This Child
   This is your God
   Thorns in the straw
Thou didst leave thy throne
Thou who was rich
Tonight
Two thousand years ago

U
Unto us a boy is born
Unto us a child is born

W
   We have found him
We have some news to bring
Welcome the Christ-child
We three kings of Orient are
We were not there
We will sing your song
We wish you a merry Christmas
   What a gift
What child is this
What kind of greatness
What was it like for the shepherds
When God from heaven to earth came down
When he comes
When the angel came to Mary
While shepherds watched
Whiter than the snow
Who is he, in yonder stall
Wonderful counsellor
Wonderful counsellor, the mighty God
   Worship song
   Worship the King

Y
   You came from the highest
