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]
I can picture Jesus toiling,
carpenter of Nazareth town:
in his face a great love shining,
working till the sun goes down.
By his children still he stands,
blessing labour of their hands.
[2]
I can picture Jesus stooping,
lifting up a heavy weight;
stiff with toil, his arms outstretching,
weary, when the hour is late.
Still he stoops from heaven above,
drawing people to his love.
[3]
Christ the workman, make me holy,
Christ the Saviour, make me true:
make of me a thing of beauty,
show me how to labour too;
ever-blessed Lord, let me
fellow-worker with you be.
