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]
Where high the heavenly temple stands,
the house of God not made with hands,
a great High Priest our nature wears,
the guardian of mankind appears.
[2]
He who for men their surety stood,
and poured on earth his precious blood,
pursues in heaven his mighty plan,
the saviour and the friend of man.
[3]
Though now ascended up on high,
he bends on earth a brother's eye;
partaker of the human name,
he knows the frailty of our frame.
[4]
Our fellow-sufferer yet retains
a fellow-feeling of our pains;
he sympathizes with our grief
and to the sufferer sends relief.
[5]
With boldness, therefore, at the throne
let us make all our sorrows known;
and ask the aids of heavenly power
to help us in the evil hour.
