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]
Jesu, priceless treasure,
source of purest pleasure,
truest friend to me:
ah! how long I've panted,
and my heart has fainted,
thirsting, Lord, for thee.
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer nought to hide thee,
nought I ask beside thee.
[2]
In thine arm I rest me;
foes who would molest me
cannot reach me here;
though the earth be shaking,
every heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear;
sin and hell in conflict fell
with their bitter storms assail me:
Jesus will not fail me.
[3]
Hence all fears and sadness!
for the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in;
those who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within;
yea, whate'er I here must bear,
still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesu, priceless treasure!
