Stephen Cleobury), E’en So, Lord Jesus, Quickly Come (Paul Manz), Infinite Light (arr. Paul Halley), A Tender Shoot (Kerensa Briggs), Angelus ad Virginem (arr. Andrew Carter), Noel: Verbum caro factum est (Tamsin Jones), The Shepherd’s Carol (Bob Chilcott), The Three Kings (Peter Cornelius), and Now May We Singen (Cecilia McDowall).

The service is preceded by an organ recital featuring Cathedral organist Stephan Casurella. Reception following. The service will also be live-streamed.
