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.
CHRIST THE LORD IS RISEN AGAIN
[1]
Christ the Lord is risen again;
Christ has broken every chain;
hark! the angels shout for joy,
singing evermore on high:
Hallelujah!
[2]
He who gave for us his life,
who for us endured the strife,
is our paschal Lamb today;
we too sing for joy, and say:
Hallelujah!
[3]
He who bore all pain and loss
comfortless upon the cross,
lives in glory now on high,
pleads for us, and hears our cry:
Hallelujah!
[4]
He who slumbered in the grave
is exalted now to save;
now through Christendom it rings
that the Lamb is King of kings:
Hallelujah!
[5]
Now he bids us tell abroad
how the lost may be restored,
how the penitent forgiven,
how we too may enter heaven:
Hallelujah !
[6]
Christ our paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, today your people feed;
take our sins and guilt away,
that our song may be alway:
Hallelujah!
