Song List
Be Not Afraid
Glory to God
AND BEHOLD IT CAME TO PASS
AND THERE SUDDENLY WAS WITH THE ANGEL
AND THEY CAME WITH HASTE
GET THEE UP, JOSEPH
IN BETHLEHEM, THE CITY OF DAVID
WHERE IS THE NEWBORN KING OF ISRAEL
LET US SING OF THE WONDR'OUS BIRTH
NOW GO FORTH
NOW LET US ALL THANK THEE, GOD,
NOW WHEN KING HEROD
NOW, WHEN EIGHT DAYS WERE ACCOMPLISHED
THEN JOSEPH AROSE AND TOOK THE CHRISTCHILD
THEN KING HEROD CALLED FOR THE WISE MEN
WHEN THE WISE MEN HEARD
AND AS THE ANGELS WERE GONE
ALLELUJA
LET US EVEN GO NOW TO BETHLEHEM
