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.
LORD, IT BELONGS NOT TO MY CARE
[1]
Lord, it belongs not to my care
whether I die or live;
to love and serve you is my share,
and this your love must give.
[2]
If life be long, I will be glad
that I may long obey;
if short, yet why should I be sad
to soar to endless day?
[3]
Christ leads me through no darker rooms
than he went through before;
he that into God's kingdom comes
must enter by this door.
[4]
Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
your blessed face to see;
for if your work on earth be sweet,
what will your glory be?
[5]
My knowledge of that life is small;
the eye of faith is dim;
but 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
and I shall be with him.
