Help Me Identify These Hymns - Part 1

When I was young, my grandmother was the church organist at the Pleasant View Brethren in Christ Church in Red Lion, PA. She loved to play the organ, especially with her aunt, who served as the church's pianist.

As time passed and their health waned, they were no longer able to play as they once did. After they both passed away in 2012, we as a family lamented that we had not recorded them playing together, beyond a few home video clips from family gatherings.

Imagine our joy when, in 2014, we found 2 audio cassette tapes filled with them playing nearly 3 dozen hymns. My dad had forgotten that decades ago he had set up a tape player one afternoon to record them at the church. That evening after we found the tapes, I sat with my mom and dad in their living room, and we listened for nearly 2 hours to them play.

I've now digitally converted the files, and in the process realized that I don't know as many hymns as I thought I did.

I need your help. Can you identify the hymns below? You can post the title (along with the track number) in the comments. As I receive responses, I'll update the titles and remove them from this list.
