Key to abbreviations for hymn book titles

All people that on earth do dwell
And did those feet in ancient time
An urgent voice is calling
As we gather in your presence now
Can’t stop talking ’bout ev’rything he’s done
For the world and all its people
God of justice, Saviour to all
I cannot count your blessings, Lord, they’re wonderful
I come with joy, a child of God
I’m not ashamed to own my Lord, or to
I want to be a history maker
Let us build a house where love can dwell
Nothing can trouble
Praise and thanksgiving, Father, we offer
Share the light of Jesus (Farrell)
Show me how to stand for justice
Take up thy cross, the Saviour said
We come as guests invited
We want to see Jesus lifted high
Will you come and follow me
