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]
When morning gilds the skies,
my heart awaking cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
alike at work and prayer
to Jesus I repair:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
[2]
To God, the word on high
the hosts of angels cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
let mortals, too, upraise
their voice in hymns of praise:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
[3]
Let earth's wide circle round
in joyful notes resound:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
let air, and sea, and sky,
from depth to height, reply:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
[4]
Be this, when day is past,
of all my thoughts the last,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
the night becomes as day,
when from the heart we say:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
[5]
Be this while life is mine,
my canticle divine,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
be this the eternal song
through all the ages long,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
