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]
Our Lord is risen from the dead!
our Jesus is gone up on high!
the powers of hell are captive led,
dragged to the portals of the sky.
Hallelujah.
[2]
There his triumphal chariot waits,
and angels chant the solemn lay:
lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates;
ye everlasting doors, give way;
Hallelujah.
[3]
Loose all your bars of massy light,
and wide unfold the ethereal scene:
he claims these mansions as his right;
receive the King of glory in!
Hallelujah.
[4]
Who is this King of glory? Who?
the Lord that all our foes o'ercame,
the world; sin, death and hell o'erthrew;
and Jesus is the conqueror's name.
Hallelujah.
