Sacred works

Anthems

Hearken unto me, my people I will lay me down in peace I will mention the loving-kindnesses I will sing of Thy power I will worship towards thy holy temple Lead, kindly Light Mercy and truth are met together O God, Thou art worthy O love the Lord

O taste and see Say, watchman, what of the night? Sing O heavens Turn Thee again Turn Thy face from my sins The way is long and dreary We have heard with our ears, O God Who is like unto Thee, O Lord? Yea, though I walk

Carols

All this night bright angels sing Hark, what mean those holy voices I sing the birth

It came upon the midnight clear Seraph (While shepherds watched their flocks) Upon the snow-clad earth

Hymns (with words)

Angel voices, ever singing Calm be our rest tonight Come, ye faithful, raise the strain Draw nigh, and take the body of the Lord For my sake and the Gospel's, go Hallelujah! hallelujah! Hushed was the evening hymn I've found a friend Lux Eoi

Make me a captive, Lord Nearer, my God, to Thee O Father, Thou who hast created all Onward Christian soldiers The saints of God, their conflict past The Son of God goes forth to war The strain upraise in joy and praise To Thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise Welcome, happy morning!
