Angels we have heard on high uThe birthday of a king
The first noel uHark the herald angels
Joy to the world uO come all ye faithful
O holy night uO little town of Bethlehem
Silent night uWhat child is this?
Once in royal David's city uInfant holy, infant lowly
The Coventry Carol u Away in a manger
We wish you merry Christmas
