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.
COME, DEAREST LORD, DESCEND AND DWELL
[1]
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
by faith and love in every breast;
then shall we know, and taste, and feel
the joys that cannot be expressed.
[2]
Come, fill our hearts with inward strength,
make our enlarged souls possess,
and learn the height, and breadth, and length
of thine unmeasurable grace.
[3]
Now to the God whose power can do
more than our thoughts or wishes know
be everlasting honours done
by all the church, through Christ his Son.
