Worship Music and Modernisation of Hymns
The official hymn book of the Lutheran Church of Australia is the Lutheran Hymnal with Supplement.
The Church is happy to use gender-inclusive language where this does not detract from the teachings of the Word of God and to this end, the Church is happy to modernise the language of its hymns where such modernisation is practical.

And deafening music shook the leaves; a troop
Shouldered a litter with a wounded man,

To bear the dreadful curse for my soul”
