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.
GOD OF MERCY, GOD OF GRACE
[1]
God of mercy, God of grace,
show the brightness of your face;
shine upon us, Saviour, shine,
fill your church with light divine;
and your saving health extend
unto earth's remotest end.
[2]
Let the people praise you, Lord!
be by all that live adored;
let the nations shout and sing
glory to their Saviour King;
at your feet their tribute pay,
and your holy will obey.
[3]
Let the people praise you, Lord!
Earth shall then her fruits afford;
God to man his blessing give,
man to God devoted live:
all below, and all above,
one in joy and light and love.
