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.
THE LORD WILL COME AND NOT BE SLOW
[1]
The Lord will come and not be slow,
his footsteps cannot err;
before him righteousness shall go,
his royal harbinger.
[2]
Surely to such as do him fear
salvation is at hand,
and glory shall ere long appear
to dwell within our land.
[3]
Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
shall bud and blossom then,
and justice from her heavenly bower
look down on mortal men.
[4]
Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might,
this wicked earth redress;
for thou art he who shall by right
the nations all possess.
[5]
The nations all whom thou hast made
shall come, and all shall frame
to bow them low before thee, Lord,
and glorify thy name.
[6]
For great thou art, and wonders great
by thy strong hand are done:
thou in thine everlasting seat
remainest God alone.
