Verse 1:
        B                   E2
Were creation suddenly articulate
       B                          E2
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry
          B/D#               E2
Then from north to south and east to west
           B/F#       B(add4)     B     F#    E2
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"


Verse 2:
         B                         E2
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
    B                             E2
His name would burst from sea and sky
     B/D#          E2
From rivers to the mountaintops

We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"

Christ be magnified in me
B           Bsus/C# E2
O Christ be magnified

Christ be magnified in me


Verse 3:
           B                            E2
When every creature finds its inmost melody
          B                      E2
And every human heart its native cry
           B/D#           E2
Oh then in one enraptured hymn of praise
            B/F#      B(add4)  E2   E6         B/E        E2
We'll sing "Christ be magnified!"

Bridge:
E2
I won't bow to idols
           B(add4)
I'll stand strong and worship You
      G#m7
If it puts me in the fire
       B/D#
I'll rejoice cause You're there too
  E2
I won't be formed by feelings
       B(add4)
I hold fast to what is true
       G#m7
If the cross brings transformation
              B/D#
Then I'll be crucified with You
       E2
'Cause death is just the doorway
     B(add4)
Into resurrection life
     G#m7
If I join You in Your sufferings
          B/D#
Then I'll join You when You rise
         E2
And when You return in glory
             B(add4)
With all the angels and the saints
   G#m7
My heart will still be singing
       B(add4)
And my song will be the same
