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]
How brightly beams the morning star!
What sudden radiance from afar
now cheers us with its shining?
Brightness of God, that breaks our night
and fills the darkened souls with light
who long for truth were pining!
Your word, Jesus, inly feeds us,
rightly leads us,
life bestowing.
Praise, O praise such love o'erflowing!
[2]
Through you alone can we be blest;
then deep be on our hearts impressed
the love that you have borne us;
so make us ready to fulfil
with burning zeal your holy will,
though men may vex or scorn us.
Saviour, let us never lose you;
for we choose you,
thirst to know you;
all we are and have we owe you.
[3]
All praise to him who came to save,
who conquered death and burst the grave;
each day new praise is sounding
to him the Lamb who once was slain,
the friend whom none shall trust in vain,
whose grace is still abounding.
Sing, you people, tell the story
of his glory,
till his praises
flood with light earth's darkest places!
