Ok…concert order above! 

Good news..Christus victor is there! But a couple of others aren’t which may be because they’ve made space for CV🤷🏼‍♀. Keep them all going for now so we can easily flex should there be changes. I’d suggest ordering your folders on Thursday not now just in case:-)

I will confirm any further additions as they come but for now let’s go with this!

Songs in red are ours. There may be some where we join with the audience singing and in which case we will have words-tbc.

Further update 16/12/2025 (from Sarah)

I’ve been told ‘Go Tell it’ is still more than likely to be IN but probably as an encore at the end

CONDUCTOR NOTES

As we sing through the scores, there will inevitably be a few note corrections and updates along the way.  We shall track those here!

Joy Has Dawned is still optional (TBD but not highly likely)

Fullness of Grace - cancelled

Saviour of the Fallen Race (not for London)

Cristus Victor (AMEN) pending (likely to stay in)

●       NEW STREAMLINED VERSION HERE - PLEASE USE THIS

IN CHRIST ALONE

○       First Sopranos - Page 3, first bar (66) - your final note in this bar is an Eb not an E natural on the word “in”.
