- God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
- For Jesus Christ our saviour was born upon this day
- To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray
- Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
- Oh, tidings of comfort and joy. (AUDIO: Voyage to Venus [+]Loading...["Voyage to Venus (audio story)"])
