Although at Yule It Bloweth Cool

As I Went To Bethlehem

Awake, And Hear My Story

Babe Jesu, Hear Our Ditty

Behoulde A Sely Tender Babe / New Prince, New Pompe (Behold A Simple Tender Babe)

Blest, Withouten Match

Christ Is At Thy Portals

Ding Dong Merrily on High

From Galilee They Came

Get Ivy And Hull, Woman, Deck Up Thine House

Hail! Eternal Son, To Thee

Hail! Holy Child, Lain In An Oxen Manger

Heap On More Wood! The Wind Is Chill

Ho! Steward, Bid My Servants

Hob & Colin, Yule Is Come

In A Cavern Oxen-Trod

In Bethlehem Hear I To-day

Jesus Is The Sweetest Name (New Year's Day, Lady Day and August 7)

Let Such (So Fantastical) Liking Not This

My Lord, And My God, In Bethlehem Born

Now Stand We In The Village

O The Morn, The Merry Merry Morn

Our Lady Sat Within Her Bower

Outside, How Hard It Bloweth

Past Three A Clock, And A Cold Frosty Morning

Sleep, Baby Mine, In Happy Case

Sweet Babe, That, Wrapt In Twilight Shade

The Mirrour Of The Father's Face

This Happy Morn The Maid Hath Borne

To Bethlehem That Night

To Redeem A Race Forlorn

To Us This Morn A Child Is Born

'Twas In A Cave On Christmas Morn

When Angelick Host Entuned

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks
