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]
My God, how wonderful thou art,
thy majesty how bright,
how beautiful thy mercy seat,
in depths of burning light!
[2]
How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord,
by watching spirits day and night
incessantly adored.
[3]
How wonderful, how beautiful,
the sight of thee must be,
thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
and aweful purity!
[4]
O how I fear thee, living God,
with deepest, tenderest fears,
and worship thee with trembling hope,
and penitential tears.
[5]
Yet I may love thee too, O Lord,
almighty as thou art,
for thou hast stooped to ask of me
the love of my poor heart.
[6]
No earthly father loves like thee,
no mother, e'er so mild,
bears and forbears as thou hast done
with me thy sinful child.
[7]
Father of Jesus, love's reward,
what rapture will it be
to fall and worship at thy throne
and gaze and gaze on thee!
