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.
FATHER OF PEACE, AND GOD OF LOVE!
[1]
Father of peace, and God of love!
We own your power to save,
that power by which our shepherd rose
victorious o'er the grave.
[2]
Him from the dead you brought again,
when, by his sacred blood,
confirmed and sealed for evermore
the eternal covenant stood.
[3]
O may your Spirit seal our souls,
and mould them to your will,
that our weak hearts no more may stray,
but keep your precepts still;
[4]
that to perfection's sacred height
we nearer still may rise,
and all we think, and all we do,
be pleasing in your eyes.
