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]
Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
chosen of the Lord, and precious,
binding all the church in one,
holy Sion's help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
[2]
All that dedicated city,
dearly loved of God on high,
in exultant jubilation
pours perpetual melody,
God the One in Three adoring
in glad hymns eternally.
[3]
To this temple where we call you
come, O Lord of Hosts, today;
with your wonted loving kindness
hear your people as they pray,
and your fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
[4]
Here vouchsafe to all your servants
what they ask of you to gain,
what they gain of you for ever
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in your glory
evermore with you to reign.
[5]
Laud and honour to the Father,
laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One,
consubstantial, co-eternal,
while unending ages run.
