• Loving Jesus
• Joy to the World
• Engelskanon
• He was Born
• Joseph's Lullabye
• Blessed Assurance

• New Year's Resolution (tenor with backup voices and piano accompaniment) Music and lyrics by HSE. The countermelody, when you consider the topic, should be fairly obvious when it comes in.
• Wondrous Love Story (tenor solo with piano accompaniment) Nothing original here except the way it's put together! The most unusual part is that the accompaniment is in G minor, but the melody is straight out of the hymnal in B flat major. Oh, well. It works!
• Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing (Soprano solo with piano accompaniment) Nothing original here except the way it's put together! Countermelody in last verse edited very slightly.
• Amazing Grace (bass/soprano duet unaccompanied) Music by HSE. An experiment in two meters and two keys simultaneously.

Loving Jesus

(music by Hugh Emerson, lyrics by Charles Wesley; 
countermelody by William B. Bradbury with lyrics by Anna B. Warner)

Loving Jesus, gentle lamb, 
In Thy gracious hands I am. 
Make me, Savior, what Thou art: 
Live thyself within my heart. 

Lamb of God, I look to Thee: 
Thou shalt my example be. 
Thou art gentle, meek and mild; 
Thou wast once a little child. 

Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, 
Look upon a little child. 
Pity my simplicity; 
Suffer me to come to Thee. 

Lamb of God, I look to Thee: 
Thou shalt my example be. 
Thou art gentle, meek and mild; 
Thou wast once a little child. 

Let me above all fulfill 
God my heavenly Father's will: 
Never His good Spirit grieve; 
Only to His glory live. 

Lamb of God, I look to Thee: 
Thou shalt my example be. 
Thou art gentle, meek and mild; 
Thou wast once a little child. 

I shall then show forth Thy praise, 
Serve Thee all my happy days; 
That the world may always see 
Christ, the holy child, in me. 

Lamb of God, I look to Thee: 
Thou shalt my example be. 
Thou art gentle, meek and mild; 
Thou wast once a little child.

He was Born

(music and lyrics by Hugh Emerson; 
countermelody traditional with lyrics by William Chatterton Dix)

He was born 
One glad winter morn: 
The One who sin and death has forsworn. 
Loudly sing 
The praise of this King, 
And let us our offering joyful bring: 
Incense, gold 
And myrrh as of old 
To Him whose birth was foretold. 
Seek ye: find, 
Both man and divine, 
The one who someday will rule all mankind.

Joseph's Lullabye

(music and lyrics by Hugh Emerson; 
countermelody by Franz Gruber with lyrics by John Freeman Young)

As I rock Thee, that Mary may rest, 
Sleep in peace, dreaming dreams of the blest. 
Holy baby, a manger's Thy bed; 
So it must be, for thus has God said. 
All the prophets foretold of Thy birth, 
Thou born King over all of the earth.
