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.

“So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 5:17-20.
