The 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.
ALL YOU WHO SEEK A COMFORT SURE
[1]
All you who seek a comfort sure
in trouble and distress,
whatever sorrow vex the mind
or guilt the soul oppress,
[2]
Jesus, who gave himself for you
upon the cross to die,
opens to you his sacred heart:
O, to that heart draw nigh.
[3]
You hear how kindly he invites,
you hear his words so blest:
'All you that labour, come to me,
and I will give you rest.'
[4]
What meeker than the Saviour's heart?
As on the cross he lay,
it did his murderers forgive
and for their pardon pray.
[5]
O Heart, thou joy of saints on high,
thou hope of sinners here!
Attracted by those loving words,
to thee I lift my prayer.
