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]
We come unto our fathers' God;
their Rock is our salvation;
the eternal arms, their dear abode,
we make our habitation;
we bring thee, Lord, the praise they brought,
we seek thee as thy saints have sought
in every generation.
[2]
The fire divine their steps that led
still goeth bright before us;
the heavenly shield around them spread
continues still to guard us;
the grace those sinners that subdued,
the strength those weaklings that renewed,
doth vanquish, doth restore us.
[3]
Their joy unto the Lord we bring;
their song to us descendeth;
the Spirit who in them did sing
to us his music lendeth;
his song in them, in us, is one;
we raise it high, we send it on,
the song that never endeth.
[4]
Ye saints to come, take up the strain,
the same sweet theme endeavour:
unbroken be the golden chain,
keep on the song forever;
safe in the same dear dwelling-place,
rich with the same eternal grace,
bless the same boundless giver.
