James Bastien's Great Hymns Arranged for Organ

One of my musical projects for 2023 was to work through James Bastien's Great Hymns Arranged for Organ.  I used the "mellow" drawbar organ sound on my Hammond SKX, with the Hammond XPK-130G for the pedal part, and I followed the registrations in the book but not the vibrato/chorus suggestions.  I posted the pieces under the titles given in the book (which are the titles of the associated texts), but in the tags for the individual posts, I put the names of the tunes, given here in parentheses.
