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, YOUR WORD ABIDING
[1]
Lord, your word abiding,
and our footsteps guiding,
gives us joy for ever,
binds us all together.
[2]
Who can tell the pleasure,
who recount the treasure,
by your word imparted
to the simple-hearted?
[3]
Word of mercy, giving
succour to the living;
word of life, supplying
comfort to the dying:
[4]
O that we, discerning
its most holy learning,
Lord, may love and fear you,
evermore be near you.
