Wait, don't forget "Shine, Jesus, Shine", "Majesty" and "Alleluia" (not the Leonard Cohen great love song, but the other mind-numbing thing).

Too bad we don't have contemporary composers who can write with the power of Fosdick's "God of Grace and Glory." Of course he was a liberal so nobody would as much as hum him today.

There are some great songs in the midst of what I call "Jesus is my Boyfriend" tunes. John Bell of the Iona Community (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_L._Bell) has written some great tunes in recent years.
