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.
WHEN MY LOVE TO CHRIST GROWS WEAK
[1]
When my love to Christ grows weak,
when for deeper faith I seek,
then in thought I go to thee,
garden of Gethsemane.
[2]
There I walk amid the shades
while the lingering twilight fades,
see that suffering, friendless one
weeping, praying there alone.
[3]
When my love for man grows weak,
when for stronger faith I seek,
hill of Calvary, I go
to thy scenes of fear and woe,
[4]
there behold his agony,
suffered on the bitter tree:
see his anguish, see his faith,
love triumphant still in death.
[5]
Then to life I turn again,
learning all the worth of pain,
learning all the might that lies
in a full self-sacrifice.
[6]
And I praise with firmer faith
Christ who vanquished pain and death,
and to Christ enthroned above
raise my song of selfless love.
