Verse 1:
        Ab                   Db2
Were creation suddenly articulate
       Ab                          Db2
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry
          Ab/C               Db2
Then from north to south and east to west
           Ab/Eb       B(add4)     Ab     Eb    Db2
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"


Verse 2:
         Ab                         Db2
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
    Ab                             Db2
His name would burst from sea and sky
     Ab/C          Db2
From rivers to the mountaintops
           Ab/Eb       B(add4)   Ab       Ab2       Ab
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"

Verse 3:
           Ab                            Db2
When every creature finds its inmost melody
          Ab                      Db2
And every human heart its native cry
           Ab/C           Db2
Oh then in one enraptured hymn of praise

We'll sing "Christ be magnified!"

Bridge:
Db2
I won't bow to idols
           B(add4)
I'll stand strong and worship You

If it puts me in the fire

I'll rejoice cause You're there too
  Db2
I won't be formed by feelings
       B(add4)
I hold fast to what is true
       Fm7
If the cross brings transformation
              Ab/C
Then I'll be crucified with You
       Db2
'Cause death is just the doorway
     B(add4)
Into resurrection life
     Fm7
If I join You in Your sufferings
          Ab/C
Then I'll join You when You rise
         Db2
And when You return in glory
             B(add4)
With all the angels and the saints

My heart will still be singing
       B(add4)
And my song will be the same
