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]
Pour out thy Spirit from on high;
Lord, thine assembled servants bless;
graces and gifts to each supply,
and clothe thy priests with righteousness.
[2]
Within thy temple when we stand
to hear the truth as taught by thee,
Saviour, like stars in thy right hand
may pastors of the churches be.
[3]
Wisdom and zeal and faith impart,
firmness with meekness from above,
to bear thy people on our heart
and love the souls whom thou dost love:
[4]
to watch and pray and never faint,
by day and night strict guard to keep;
to warn the sinner, cheer the saint,
nourish thy lambs, and feed thy sheep.
[5]
Then, when our work is finished here,
in humble hope our charge resign,
when the Chief Shepherd shall appear,
O God, then may we all be thine.
