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]
How glad I was to hear men say,
come with us to God's home.
Jerusalem, within thy gates
our joyful feet will come.
[2]
Jerusalem! a city fair,
securely built and strong,
where all the tribes of God go up
to worship in his throng.
[3]
To Israel's royal temple.there
to sing and thank the Lord,
before King David's judgment seat,
according to his word.
[4]
Pray that Jerusalem may have
peace and felicity:
let them that love thee and thy peace
have still prosperity.
[5]
Therefore I wish that peace may still
within thy walls remain,
and ever may thy palaces
prosperity retain.
[6]
Now, for my friends' and brethren's sake,
peace be in thee, I'll say.
And for the house of God our Lord,
I'll seek thy good alway.
