Verse 1:
        A                   D2
Were creation suddenly articulate
       A                          D2
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry
          A/C#               D2
Then from north to south and east to west
           A/E       B(add4)     A     E    D2
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"


Verse 2:
         A                         D2
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
    A                             D2
His name would burst from sea and sky
     A/C#          D2
From rivers to the mountaintops
           A/E       B(add4)   A       A2       A
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"


Chorus:
A           Asus/B D2
O Christ be magnified
        Esus      F#m7
Let His praise arise
          Esus  D2
Christ be magnified in me
A           Asus/B D2
O Christ be magnified
               Esus    F#m7
From the altar of my life
          Esus  D2
Christ be magnified in me


Verse 3:
           A                            D2
When every creature finds its inmost melody
          A                      D2
And every human heart its native cry
           A/C#           D2
Oh then in one enraptured hymn of praise
            A/E      B(add4)  D2   D6         A/D        D2
We'll sing "Christ be magnified!"

Bridge:
D2
I won't bow to idols
           B(add4)
I'll stand strong and worship You
      F#m7
If it puts me in the fire
       A/C#
I'll rejoice cause You're there too
  D2
I won't be formed by feelings
       B(add4)
I hold fast to what is true
       F#m7
If the cross brings transformation
              A/C#
Then I'll be crucified with You
       D2
'Cause death is just the doorway
     B(add4)
Into resurrection life
     F#m7
If I join You in Your sufferings
          A/C#
Then I'll join You when You rise
         D2
And when You return in glory
             B(add4)
With all the angels and the saints
   F#m7
My heart will still be singing
       B(add4)
And my song will be the same


Final Chorus:
A           Asus/B D2
O Christ be magnified
        Esus      F#m7
Let His praise arise
          Esus  D2
Christ be magnified in me
A/E               F#m7
O Christ be magnified
                       A/C#
From the altar of my life
          Esus  D2         A
Christ be magnified in me
