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 to the sacred font we came,
did not the rite proclaim,
that washed from sin, and all its stains
new creatures we became?
[2]
Too long enthralled to Satan's sway,
we now are slaves no more;
for Christ has vanquished death and sin,
our freedom to restore.
[3]
With Christ the Lord we died to sin,
with him to life we rise;
in Christ's new life we now shall walk,
in him attain the prize.
