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]
O breath of God, breathe on us now
and move within us while we pray;
the spring of our new life art thou,
the very light of our new day.
[2]
O strangely art thou with us, Lord,
neither in height nor depth to seek:
in nearness shall thy voice be heard;
spirit to spirit thou dost speak.
[3]
Christ is our advocate on high;
thou art our advocate within:
O plead the truth, and make reply
to every argument of sin.
[4]
But what a faithless heart is mine:
the way I know, I know my guide;
forgive me, O my friend divine,
that I so often turn aside.
[5]
Be with me when no other friend
the mystery of my heart can share;
and be thou known, when fears transcend,
by thy best name of Comforter.
