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]
On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh;
corne then and hearken, for he brings
glad tidings from the King of kings.
[2]
Then cleansed be every breast from sin;
make straight the way for God within;
prepare we in our hearts a home
where such a mighty guest may come.
[3]
For you are our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.
[4]
To heal the sick stretch out your hand
and bid the fallen sinner stand;
shine forth, and let your light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.
[5]
To him who left the throne of heaven
to free mankind, all praise be given;
like praise be to the Father done,
and Holy Spirit, Three in One.
