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]
God is the refuge of his saints,
when storms of sharp distress invade;
ere we can offer our complaints,
behold him present with his aid!
[2]
Let mountains from their seats be hurled
down to the deep, and buried there,
convulsions shake the solid world,
our faith shall never yield to fear.
[3]
Loud may the troubled ocean roar,
in sacred peace our souls abide,
while every nation, every shore,
tremb1es and dreads the swelling tide.
[4]
There is a stream, whose gentle flow
makes glad the city of our God,
life, love, and joy still gliding through,
and watering our divine abode.
S
That sacred stream, thy holy word,
our grief allays, our fear controls;
sweet peace thy promises afford,
and give new strength to fainting souls.
[6]
Sion enjoys her Monarch's love,
secure against the threatening hour;
nor can her firm foundation move,
built on his truth and armed with power.
