In case anyone was in doubt that I am a church music nerd, here is further proof. I just finished updating my organ music spreadsheet, which contains most pieces in my organ library, sorted by tune name so that I can find what I want.
There are 1598 listings.
Subtract a few for things that have multiple tune names.
Add several more for a foot-high stack of Organists Companion magazines that are not yet cataloged.
Add LOTS more for at least a half-dozen books of alternate accompaniments/descants that also are not cataloged.
And of course none of this includes all the organ music that is not hymn-tune based.
So, basically, I have a lot of organ music.
