Contents
There comes a galley, laden / Es kommt ein Schiff, geladen
O saviour, open heaven’s gate / O Heiland, reiß die Himmel auf
O Lord, how shall I meet you / Wie soll ich dich empfangen
Angels from the realms of Glory / Hört der Engel helle Lieder
As I was watching o’er my sheep / Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht
Good Christian men rejoice / Nun singet und seid froh
