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]
Behold! the mountain of the Lord
in latter days shall rise
on mountain tops above the hills,
and draw the wondering eyes.
[2]
To this the joyful nations round,
all tribes and tongues shall flow;
up to the hill of God, they'll say,
and to his house we'll go.
[3]
The beam that shines from Sion hill
shall lighten every land;
the king who reigns in Salem's towers
shall all the world command.
[4]
Among the nations he shall judge;
his judgment truth shall guide;
his sceptre shall protect the just,
and quell the sinner's pride.
[5]
No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds
disturb those peaceful years;
to ploughshares men shall beat their swords,
to pruning-hooks their spears.
[6]
No longer hosts encountering hosts
shall crowds of slain deplore;
they hang the trumpet in the hall
and study war no more.
[7]
Come then, O house of Jacob! come
to worship at his shrine;
and, walking in the light of God,
with holy beauties shine.
