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]
To the name of our salvation
laud and honour let us pay,
which for many a generation
hid in God's foreknowledge lay
but with holy exultation
we may sing aloud today.
[2]
Jesus is the name we treasure,
name beyond what words can tell;
name of gladness, name of pleasure,
ear and heart delighting well;
name of sweetness passing measure,
saving us from sin and hell.
[3]
This the name that whoso preaches
speaks like music to the ear;
who in prayer that name beseeches
finds its comfort ever near;
who its perfect wisdom reaches
heavenly joy possesses here.
[4]
Jesus is the name exalted
over every other name;
in this name whene'er assaulted
we can put our foes to shame:
strength to them who else had halted,
eyes to blind and feet to lame.
[5]
Therefore we in love adoring
this most blessed name revere:
holy Jesus, thee imploring
so to write it in us here
that hereafter heavenward soaring
we may sing with angels there.
