Abide with me
All people that on earth do dwell
All things bright and beautiful
Amazing grace
At the name of Jesus
Christ is made the sure foundation
Dear Lord and Father of mankind
For the beauty of the earth
Guide me, o thou great Jehovah
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
I vow to thee, my country
Jerusalem
Jesus Christ is risen today
Lead us, heavenly father
Love divine, all love excelling
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Nearer, my God, to thee
Now thank we all our God
O God, our help in ages past
O praise ye the Lord!
O worship the King, all-glorious above
Praise, my soul, the king of heaven
Praise to the holiest in the height
Rejoice, the Lord is King!
The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended
The King of Love my shepherd is
Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son
We plough the fields, and scatter
When I survey the wondrous cross
And many more
