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]
Jesus, if still the same thou art,
if all thy promises are sure,
set up thy kingdom in my heart,
and make me rich, for I am poor;
to me he all thy treasures given,
the kingdom of an inward heaven.
[2]
Thou hast pronounced the mourners blest;
and lo, for thee I ever mourn:
I cannot: No! I will not rest,
till thou, my only rest, return;
till thou, the Prince of Peace, appear,
and I receive the Comforter.
[3]
Where is the blessedness bestowed
on ill that hunger after thee?
I hunger now, I thirst for God;
See the poor fainting sinner, see,
and satisfy with endless peace,
and fill me with thy righteousness.
[4]
Shine on thy work, disperse the gloom,
light in thy light I then shall see;
say to my soul: 'Thy light is come,
glory divine is risen on thee,
thy warfare's past, thy mourning's o'er;
look up, for thou shalt weep no more!'
