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]
Spirit of truth, essential God,
who didst thy ancient saints inspire,
shed in their hearts thy love abroad
and touch their hallowed lips with fire;
our God from all eternity,
world without end we worship thee.
[2]
Still we believe, almighty Lord;
whose presence fills both earth and heaven,
the meaning of the written word
is by thy inspiration given;
thou only dost thyself explain
the secret mind of God to man.
[3]
Come then, divine Interpreter,
the scriptures to our hearts apply;
and, taught by thee, we God revere,
him in three Persons magnify;
in each the triune God adore,
who was, and is for evermore.
