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]
I give my heart to thee,
O Jesus most desired;
and heart for heart the gift shall be,
for thou my soul hast fired:
thou hearts alone wouldst move,
thou only hearts dost love;
l would love thee as thou lov'st me,
O Jesus most desired.
[2]
What offering can I make,
dear Lord, to love like thine,
that thou, the Word, didst stoop to take
a human form like mine?
'Give me thy heart, my son';
Lord, thou my heart hast won:
l would love thee as thou lov'st me,
O Jesus most desired.
[3]
Here finds my heart its rest,
repose that knows no shock,
the strength of love that keeps it blest
in thee, the riven rock;
my soul, as girt around,
her citadel hath found:
l would love thee as thou lov'st me,
O Jesus most desired.
