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]
Blessed Jesus, here we stand,
met to do as thou hast spoken;
and this child, at thy command,
now we bring to thee in token
that to Christ he* here is given,
for of such shall be his heaven.
[2]
Make him*, Lord, thy member now;
Shepherd, take thy lamb and feed him*;
Prince of Peace, his* peace be thou;
Way of life, to heaven O lead him*;
Vine, this branch may nothing sever,
grafted firm in thee forever.
[3]
Now upon thy heart he* lies,
whom our hearts so dearly treasure;
grant to thee our prayers may rise,
pour thy blessing without measure;
write the name we now have given,
write it in the book of heaven.
*Sing 'she' or 'her' where appropriate.
