Hymn for Christmas Day (1743) Baker list, 80 Editorial Introduction: The ledgers of William Strahan, a printer in London, contain an entry on December 23, 1743 charging the Wesleys for "printing a hymn for Christmas Day." The amount of paper used shows that it was a single broadsheet. However, no copies of this printing appear to have survived. It is most likely that this was a reprint of "Hymn for Christmas Day" in HSP (1739), 206-8. However, there is the slight possibility that it was instead an initial appearance of one of the hymns that would compose Nativity Hymns (1745). Edition: Charles Wesley. Hymn for Christmas Day. London: Strahan, 1743. no copies extant
