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]
On this day, the first of days,
God the Father's name we praise,
who, creation's Lord and spring,
did the world from darkness bring.
[2]
On this day the eternal Son
over death his triumph won;
on this day the Spirit came
with his gifts of living flame.
[3]
O that fervent love today
may in every heart have sway,
teaching us to praise aright
God the source of life and light!
[4]
Father, who didst fashion me
image of thyself to be,
fill me with thy love divine,
let my every thought be thine.
[5]
Holy Jesus, may I be
dead and risen here with thee,
and upon love's fire arise
unto thee a sacrifice.
[6]
Thou who dost all gifts impart,
shine, good Spirit, in my heart;
best of gifts, thyself bestow;
make me bum thy love to know.
[7]
God, the one God of my heart,
I am thine, and mine thou art;
take me, blessed One in Three,
here I give myself to thee.
