  1. “Hark! The herald angels” is ALWAYS my #1!😊 And I’m quite fond of “Of the Father’s love begotten” (which was #20 in Hymnal 1940; is it in 1982?)

  2. The one I always hope to get a chance to sing is "Of the Father's love begotten," but my current parish's music director always assigns it to the choir and denies the congregation the chance.
