Subject: Yet Another Christmas Lyrics Quiz
Here is yet another such quiz, in this case basically eschewing the secular:

41        All the trees like mages come Bending low with 'Gloria!'
42        In the blue ranges lorikeets calling
43        Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear
44        But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God
45        And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place
46        Every hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing
47        Or all of God's angels in heaven for to sing
48        Lo! for his guard, the bright angels attend
49        All glory be in Paradise, this heavenly host did sing
50        We beheld it (it is no fable), God incarnate, King of bliss,
51        Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear
52        Shall I stand and weep? Be it far Jehovah!
53        The Thorn it blooms with golden flowers, And Kissing's fashion now.
54        O siano, siano, siano jak lilija
55        A barn shall harbor heaven, A stall become a shrine.
56        Over that bed the moon shines bright
57        Deeply were we stained Per nostra crimina:
58        The tender Babe was found, A ragged robe of rabbit skin
59        Christ comes as a baby weak and poor
60        In Bethlehem blest this baby of bliss will be Born here before you
