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]
To us a child of royal birth,
heir of the promises, is given;
the invisible appears on earth,
the son of man, the God of heaven.
[2]
A Saviour born, in love supreme
he comes our fallen souls to raise;
he comes his people to redeem
with all the fullness of his grace.
[3]
The Christ, by raptured seers foretold,
filled with the eternal Spirit's power,
Prophet, and Priest, and King behold,
and Lord of all the worlds adore.
[4]
The Lord of hosts, the God most high,
who quits his throne on earth to live,
with joy we welcome from the sky,
with faith into our hearts receive.
