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]
Earth has many a noble city–
Bethlehem alone excels:
from it came the Lord from heaven,
came to rule his Israel.
[2]
Fairer than the sun at morning
was the star that told his birth,
to the world its God announcing,
seen in human form on earth.

Eastern sages at his cradle
make oblations rich and rare;
see them give in deep devotion
gold and frankincense and myrrh.
[4]
Sacred gifts of mystic meaning:
frankincense God to disclose,
gold the King of kings proclaiming,
myrrh his sepulchre foreshows.
[5]
Jesus, whom the gentiles worshipped
at your glad epiphany,
now to you with God the Father
and the Spirit glory be.
