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]
Forty days and forty nights
thou wast fasting in the wild,
forty days and forty nights
tempted, and yet undefiled:
[2]
let us thy endurance share
and from earthly greed abstain,
with thee watching unto prayer,
with thee strong to suffer pain.
[3]
And if Satan, vexing sore,
flesh or spirit should assail,
thou, his vanquisher before,
grant we may not faint nor fail.
[4]
So shall we have peace divine,
holier gladness ours shall be;
round us too shall angels shine
such as ministered to thee.
[5]
Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by thy side,
that with thee we may appear
at the eternal Eastertide.
