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]
Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
the Saviour promised long;
let every heart prepare a throne
and every voice a song.
[2]
On him the Spirit largely poured
exerts its sacred fire;
wisdom and might and zeal and love
his holy breast inspire.
[3]
Becomes the prisoners to release
in Satan's bondage held;
the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
[4]
He comes the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure,
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.
[5]
His silver trumpets publish loud
the jubilee of the Lord,
our debts are all remitted now,
our heritage restored.
[6]
Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
your welcome shall proclaim,
and heaven's exalted arches ring
with your beloved name.
