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]
Most glorious Lord of life, that on this day
didst make thy triumph over death and sin
and, having harrowed hell didst bring away
captivity thence captive, us to win:
[2]
this joyous day, dear Lord, with joy begin;
and grant that we, for whom thou didest die,
being with thy dear blood clean washt from sin,
may live for ever in felicity;
[3]
and that thy love we weighing worthily,
may likewise love thee for the same again;
and for thy sake, that all like dear didst buy,
with love may one another entertain.
[4]
So let us love, dear love, like as we ought:
love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.
