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]
Jerusalem the golden,
with milk and honey blest,
beneath your contemplation
sink heart and voice oppressed.
I know not, O I know not
what joys await us there,
what radiance of glory,
what bliss beyond compare.
[2]
They stand, those halls of Sion,
all jubilant with song
and bright with many an angel
and all the martyr throng;
the Prince is ever with them,
the daylight is serene,
the pastures of the blessed
are decked inglorious sheen.
[3]
There is the throne of David
and there, from care released,
the shout of them that triumph,
the song of them that feast,
and they who with their leader
have conquered in the fight
for ever and for ever
are clad in robes of white.
[4]
O sweet and blessed country,
the home of God's elect,
O sweet and blessed country
that eager hearts expect,
Jesus, in mercy bring us
to that dear land of rest,
who art, with God the Father
and Spirit, ever blest.
