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]
Why should cross and trial grieve me?
Need I fear?
Christ is near,
never will he leave me.
Who can rob me of the heaven
that God's Son
for my own
to my faith has given?
[2]
All who in the Lord are planted
should appear
everywhere
hopeful and undaunted.
Even death cannot appal them;
they rejoice
when the voice
of their Lord doth call them.
[3]
Lord, my life and joy for ever,
thou art mine,
I am thine,
nothing can us sever.
l am thine, for thou hast bought me;
lost I stood,
but thy blood
free salvation brought me.
[4]
Thou art mine; I love and own thee.
Light of joy,
ne'er shall I
from my heart dethrone thee.
Saviour, let me soon behold thee
face to face;
may thy grace
evermore enfold me.
