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]
The strife is o'er, the battle done:
now is the victor's triumph won;
O let the song of praise be sung:
Alleluia!
[2]
Death's mightiest powers have done their worst,
and Jesus hath his foes dispersed;
let shouts of praise and joy outburst:
[3]
On the third mom he rose again
glorious in majesty to reign;
let us awake and join the strain:
[4]
He closed the frowning gates of hell;
the bars from heaven's high portals fell;
let hymns of praise his triumph tell:
[5]
Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee,
from death's dread sting thy servants free,
that we may live, and sing to thee,
Alleluia!
