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]
Lord of our life and God of our salvation,
star of our night and hope of every nation,
hear and receive your church's supplication,
Lord God Almighty.
[2]
See round your ark the hungry billows curling;
see how your foes their banners are unfurling;
Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling'
you can preserve us.
[3]
Lord, you can help when earthly armour fails us;
Lord, you can save when deadly sin assails us;
you, O Lord Christ, alone, will never fail us,
grant us your peace, Lord.
[4]
Peace in our hearts our evil thoughts assuaging;
peace in your church, where brothers are engaging;
peace, when the world its busy war is waging:
calm your foes' raging.
[5]
Grant us your help till backward they are driven,
grant them your truth that they may be forgiven,
grant peace on earth, and after we have striven,
peace in your heaven.
