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 of mercy and compassion,
look with pity upon me;
Father, let me call thee Father,
'tis thy child returns to thee.
[Refrain]
Jesus, Lord, I ask for mercy;
let me not implore in vain:
all my sins I now detest them,
never will I sin again.
[2]
By my sins I have deserved
death and endless misery,
hell with all its pains and torments,
and for all eternity.
[3]
By my sins I have abandoned
right and claim to heaven above,
where the saints rejoice for ever
in a boundless sea of love.
[4]
See our Saviour, bleeding, dying
on the cross of Calvary;
to that cross my sins have nailed him,
yet he bleeds and dies for me.
