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 God of truth, whose living word
upholds whate'er has breath,
look down on thy creation, Lord,
enslaved by sin and death.
[2]
Set up thy standard, Lord, that we,
who claim a heavenly birth,
may march with thee to smite the lies
that vex thy groaning earth.
[3]
But can we fight for truth and God,
poor slaves of lies and sin?
He who would wage such war on earth
must first be true within.
[4]
O God of truth, for whom we long,
O thou that hearest prayer,
do thine own battle in our hearts
and slay the falsehood there.
[5]
So, tried in thy refining fire,
from every lie set free,
in us thy perfect truth shall dwell,
and we may fight for thee.
