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.
ENTERED THE HOLY PLACE ABOVE
[1]
Entered the holy place above,
covered with meritorious scars,
the tokens of his dying love
our great high-priest in glory bears,
he pleads his passion on the tree,
he shows himself to God for me.
[2]
Before the throne my Saviour stands,
my friend and advocate appears;
my name is graven on his hands,
and him the Father always hears;
while low at Jesus' cross I bow,
he hears the blood of sprinkling now.
[3]
This instant now I may receive
the answer of his powerful prayer;
this instant now by him I live,
his prevalence with God declare;
and soon my spirit, in his hands,
shall stand where my forerunner stands.
