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 for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heavenly frame,
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb.
[2]
Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
of Jesus and his word?
[3]
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed
how sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
[4]
Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
and drove thee from my breast.
[5]
The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne
and worship only thee.
[6]
So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb.
