Verse 1:
        G                   C2
Were creation suddenly articulate
       G                          C2
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry
          G/B               C2
Then from north to south and east to west
           G/D       B(add4)     G     D    C2
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"


Verse 2:
         G                         C2
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
    G                             C2
His name would burst from sea and sky
     G/B          C2
From rivers to the mountaintops
           G/D       B(add4)   G       G2       G
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"


Chorus:
G           Gsus/A C2
O Christ be magnified
        Dsus      Em7
Let His praise arise
          Dsus  C2
Christ be magnified in me
G           Gsus/A C2
O Christ be magnified
               Dsus    Em7
From the altar of my life
          Dsus  C2
Christ be magnified in me


Verse 3:
           G                            C2
When every creature finds its inmost melody
          G                      C2
And every human heart its native cry
           G/B           C2
Oh then in one enraptured hymn of praise
            G/D      B(add4)  C2   C6         G/C        C2
We'll sing "Christ be magnified!"

Bridge:
C2
I won't bow to idols
           B(add4)
I'll stand strong and worship You
      Em7
If it puts me in the fire
       G/B
I'll rejoice cause You're there too
  C2
I won't be formed by feelings
       B(add4)
I hold fast to what is true
       Em7
If the cross brings transformation
              G/B
Then I'll be crucified with You
       C2
'Cause death is just the doorway
     B(add4)
Into resurrection life
     Em7
If I join You in Your sufferings
          G/B
Then I'll join You when You rise
         C2
And when You return in glory
             B(add4)
With all the angels and the saints
   Em7
My heart will still be singing
       B(add4)
And my song will be the same


Final Chorus:
G           Gsus/A C2
O Christ be magnified
        Dsus      Em7
Let His praise arise
          Dsus  C2
Christ be magnified in me
G/D               Em7
O Christ be magnified
                       G/B
From the altar of my life

Christ be magnified in me
