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 lovely is your dwelling-place,
O Lord of hosts, to me;
my thirsting soul longs eagerly
within your courts to be.
[2]
Beside your altars, Lord of all,
the swallows find a nest;
happy are those who dwell with you
and praise you without rest,
[3]
and happy those whose hearts are set
upon the pilgrim ways:
you are the water when they thirst,
their guide towards your face.
[4]
How blest are they that in your house
for ever give you praise:
one day with you is better spent
than thousands in dark ways.
[5]
The Lord will hold back no good thing
from those who justly live;
to all who trust, the Lord of hosts
will all his blessings give.
