  87 O holy Child of Bethlehem
  88 Descend to us, we pray
  89 Cast out our sin and enter in
  90 Be born to us today
  91 We hear the Christmas angels
  92 The great glad tidings tell
  93 O come to us, abide with us
  94 Our Lord Emmanuel
  95 </pre>
  96 <pre class="verse">
  97 For Christ is born of Mary
  98 And gathered all above
  99 While mortals sleep, the angels keep
 100 Their watch of wondering love
 101 O morning stars together
 102 Proclaim the holy birth
 103 And praises sing to God the King
 104 And Peace to men on earth
