Lyrics--
Christmas Joy
Tasting the Joys
Trying to Be More like Jesus
We Shall Hear Him Say, "Well Done"
Music--
Best Thing I Ever Did, The
End Is Not Yet, The
I Am Going to Continue
In the Morning We Shall See
It Is Mine
Jesus Satisfies
Jesus Took the Burden Off
Keep Telling It
Last Mile of the Way, The
Let Jesus Remove It Today
Lift Thy Face to the Light!
Rapture Indeed!
Tell It Wherever You Go
When We Use Our Talents
You Ought to Know Him
