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]
Come, we that love the Lord,
and let our joys be known;
join in a song with sweet accord,
and thus surround the throne.
[2]
The sorrows of the mind
be banished from the place!
Religion never was designed
to make our pleasures less.
[3]
Let those refuse to sing
that never knew our God;
but children of the heavenly king
may speak their joys abroad.
[4]
The men of grace have found
glory begun below;
celestial fruits on earthly ground
from faith and hope may grow.
[5]
Then let our songs abound,
and every tear be dry;
we're marching through Emmanuel's ground
to fairer worlds on high.
