Imogen wrote:"O Holy Night the stars are brightly shining. it is the night of the dear Savior's birth"

-O Holy Night
I already used that (under "Minuit Chrétiens"), but I guess I forgot to put the English title on the master list. So, I guess I'll count it?

That would work, except that if I'm counting Imogen's post, then she's already used "O." (Sorry DC, it seems you can't catch a break, today.)

Somehow my brain thought "O Little Town of Bethlehem" was used for L instead of O.

"For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!"

--"Hallelujah Chorus"

Please oh please let this one count!

"It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old . . ."

-It Came Upon The Midnight Clear

(and yes, it is "the" as opposed to "a", at least according to Wikipedia and the LDS hymnbook. Everywhere else says "a".)
