Jesus Christ
616 Father of heaven, whose love profound
617 Jesus, the very thought of thee
618 Glorious in majesty
619 Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature
620 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
621 Before the world began
622 How bright appears the Morning Star
623 A mother's labor bears her child
624 O thou who camest from above
625 I found him cradled in a lamp-lit barn
626 The Lord Almighty spoke the word
627 The voice of God goes out to all the world
628 O love, how deep, how broad, how high
629 Jesus, thy blood and righteousness
630 You, Lord, are both lamb and shepherd
631 The kingdom of God is justice and joy
632 The King of glory comes, the nation rejoices
633 Lord Christ, we praise your sacrifice
634 Jesus, remember me

Holy Spirit
635 Like the murmur of the dove's song
636 Come, thou Holy Spirit, come
637 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
638 O Holy Spirit, by whose breath
639 Come, O Creator Spirit, come
640 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove
641 Creator Spirit, by whose aid
642 From the waiting comes the sign
643 Holy Spirit, come with power
644 Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove
645 Come down, O Love divine
646 Spirit divine, attend our prayers
647 Spirit of the living God, move among us all
648 O Holy Spirit, enter in
649 Breathe on me, Breath of God
650 God's Spirit as a rising gale
651 God sends us his Spirit to befriend and help us
652 Fire of God, thou sacred flame
653 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost
654 Holy Spirit, gracious guest
655 Holy Spirit, ever dwelling
656 She comes sailing on the wind
657 Loving Spirit, loving Spirit
658 Filled with the Spirit's power

National Songs
659 O Canada
660 God save our gracious Queen

Blessings
661 May the Lord, mighty God
662 The trees of the field
663 Bwana awabariki
664 In Jesus' Name, we pause to pray
665 To God, with the Lamb and the Dove
