For the record - there are "scores and scores that talk primarily about Jesus" that have Mormon authors.

So, post the list. Leave out the ones that take an old Christian melody and put mormon lyrics to it.

“Scores and scores” would imply at least 40. Here are 60+ (in case I messed up and included some from non-LDS sources). I didn’t go through the whole hymnal, as you can see, but quit in the 220s. There are 341 hymns total in the English version.

There are gaps for various reasons. The first 50 or so hymns are “restoration” hymns and include the “Joseph Smith” ones, as well as uniquely Momon hymns like “Come, Come Ye Saints” or “The Spirit of God.” The gap in the early 200s are the Christmas hymns (yes, we stole all those).

On some the title does not disclose well the topic. For example, here is the first verse of #186 - Again We Meet around the Board - “Again we meet around the board of Jesus, our redeeming Lord, with faith in his atoning blood, our only access unto God.”

Here’s the list:

#6 - Redeemer of Israel
#57 - We’re Not Ashamed to Own Our Lord
#61 - Raise Your Voices to the Lord
#63 - Great King of Heaven
#64 - On This Day of Joy and Gladness
#65 - Come, All Ye Saints Who Dwell on Earth (tune is “borrowed”)
#71 - With Songs of Praise
#73 - Praise the Lord with Heart and Voice
#76 - God of Our Fathers, We Come unto Thee

#91 - Father, Thy Children to Thee Now Raise

#120 - Lean on My Ample Arm
#122 - Though Deepening Trials
#126 - How Long, O Lord Most Holy and True
