| Shine out to guide the traveler's feet | L |
| To you across the snow | K |

| There was a joyous hostler | B |
| Who knelt on Christmas morn | Q |
| Beside the radiant manger | B |
| Wherein his Lord was born | Q |
| His heart was full of laughter | B |
| His soul was full of bliss | R |
| When Jesus on His Mother's lap | S |
| Gave him His hand to kiss | R |
| - | |
| Unbar your heart this evening | N |
| And keep no stranger out | T |
| Take from your soul's great portal | D |
| The barrier of doubt | T |
| To humble folk and weary | U |
| Give hearty welcoming | N |
| Your breast shall be to morrow | K |
| The cradle of a King | N |
