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 amazing gift of love
the Father hath bestowed
on us, the sinful sons of men,
to call us sons of God!
[2]
Concealed as yet this honour lies,
by this dark world unknown,
a world that knew not when he came
even God's eternal Son.
[3]
High is the rank we now possess;
but higher we shall rise;
though what we shall hereafter be
is hid from mortal eyes.
[4]
Our souls, we know, when he appears,
shall bear his image bright;
for all his glory, full disclosed,
shall open to our sight.
[5]
A hope so great, and so divine,
may trials well endure;
and purge the soul from guilt and sin,
as Christ himself is pure.
