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]
Hail, Queen of heaven, the ocean star;
guide of the wanderer here below;
thrown on life's surge, we claim thy care:
save us from peril and from woe.
Mother of Christ, star of the sea,
pray for the wanderer, pray for me.
[2]
O gentle, chaste and spotless maid,
we sinners make our prayers through thee;
remind thy Son that he has paid
the price of our iniquity.
Virgin most pure, star of the sea,
pray for the sinner, pray for me.
[3]
Sojourners in this vale of tears,
to thee, blest advocate, we cry:
pity our sorrows, calm our fears,
and soothe with hope our misery.
Refuge in grief, star of the sea,
pray for the mourner, pray for me.
[4]
And while to him who reigns above,
in godhead one, in persons three,
the source of life, of grace, of love,
homage we pay on bended knee,
do thou, bright Queen, star of the sea,
pray for thy children, pray for me.
