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 sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
and drives away his fear.
[2]
It makes the wounded spirit whole
and calms the troubled breast,
is manna to the hungry soul
and to the weary rest.
[3]
Dear name! the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding-place,
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace:
[4]
Jesus, my shepherd, brother, friend,
my prophet, priest and king,
my lord, my life, my way, my end,
accept the praise I bring.
[5]
Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see thee as thou art
I'll praise thee as l ought.
