Well known
Breathe on me, breath of God
Christ is the world’s light, he and none other
God is love, his the care
I danced in the morning when the world was begun
It is a thing most wonderful
Now the green blade riseth
Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
To God be the glory, great things he has done
What a friend we have in Jesus

For young people
All heaven declares (TS)
I believe in Jesus (TS)
Jesus Christ, I think upon your sacrifice (TS)
The spirit lives to set us free (JP)
