The coming of our God
The day of resurrection!
The Day of the Lord shall come
The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended
The first Nowell
The God of all eternity
The head that once was crowned with thorns
The holly and the ivy

The kingdom of heaven
The light of Christ
The little drummer boy
The Lord hears the cry of the poor
The Lord is alive!
The Lord is my light
The Lord is my song
The Lord's my shepherd
The Lord's my shepherd
The love I have for you
The love we share
The night before our Saviour died

The royal banners forward go

The servant song
The song of the supper
The Spirit lives to set us free

There is a green hill far away
There is a longing
There's a spirit in the air
These vows of love are taken
They had lost the will to live
Thine be the glory
This day God gives me
This is my body
This is my will
This is the day
This is the image of the queen
This is your God
This joyful Eastertide
This little light of mine
This, then, is my prayer

Though the mountains may fall
Thuma mina
Thy hand, O God, has guided
To be in your presence
To Christ, the Prince of Peace
To Jesus' heart, all burning
To you alone

Water of life
We are gathering together
We are marching
We are waiting
We behold the splendour of God
We cannot measure
We celebrate this festive day
We come to share our story
We gather here
We have a dream
We have a gospel to proclaim
We have a King who rides a donkey
We hold a treasure
We plough the fields and scatter
We shall draw water joyfully
We shall go out with hope
We three kings of Orient are
Welcome, all you noble saints
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
What child is this
Whatsoever you do
When Christ our Lord to Andrew cried
When days are touched with sadness
When I needed a neighbour
When I survey the wondrous cross
When Jesus comes to be baptised
When the angel came to Mary
When the Spirit of the Lord
Where are you bound, Mary
Where the love of Christ unites us
Where true love is found with charity
While shepherds watched
Will you come and follow me
Within our darkest night
Within the reign of God
Within this place we gather
Word made flesh
Yahweh, I know you are near
Ye choirs of new Jerusalem
Ye sons and daughters of the Lord
You are salt
You are the Bread of Life
You are the centre
You have called us
You, Lord, are in this place
You make the Father known
You shall cross the barren desert
You shall go out with joy
You stood there on the shoreline
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
Your love's greater
