MySongbooksThe Australian Hymn Book
The Australian Hymn Book was published in 1977, and was the culmination of almost ten years' work by an ecumenical committee, chaired by A. Harold Wood, intent on producing a new, contemporary and inclusive hymn book that could be used in worship by the varied Christian congregations across Australia.

[1]
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat,
where Jesus answers prayer;
there humbly fall before his feet,
for none can perish there.
[2]
Thy promise is my only plea;
with this I venture nigh:
thou callest burdened souls to thee,
and such, O Lord, am I.
[3]
Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
by Satan sorely pressed,
by war without and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
[4]
Be thou my shield and hiding-place,
that, sheltered near thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face
and tell him thou hast died.
[5]
O wondrous love, to bleed and die,
to bear the cross and shame,
that guilty sinners, such as I,
might plead thy gracious name!
