Verse 1:
        Bb                   Eb2
Were creation suddenly articulate
       Bb                          Eb2
With a thousand tongues to lift one cry
          Bb/D               Eb2
Then from north to south and east to west
           Bb/F       B(add4)     Bb     F    Eb2
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"


Verse 2:
         Bb                         Eb2
Were the whole earth echoing His eminence
    Bb                             Eb2
His name would burst from sea and sky
     Bb/D          Eb2
From rivers to the mountaintops
           Bb/F       B(add4)   Bb       Bb2       Bb
We'd hear "Christ be magnified!"


Chorus:
Bb           Bbsus/C Eb2
O Christ be magnified
        Fsus      Gm7
Let His praise arise
          Fsus  Eb2
Christ be magnified in me
Bb           Bbsus/C Eb2
O Christ be magnified
               Fsus    Gm7
From the altar of my life
          Fsus  Eb2
Christ be magnified in me


Verse 3:
           Bb                            Eb2
When every creature finds its inmost melody
          Bb                      Eb2
And every human heart its native cry
           Bb/D           Eb2
Oh then in one enraptured hymn of praise
            Bb/F      B(add4)  Eb2   Eb6         Bb/Eb        Eb2
We'll sing "Christ be magnified!"

Bridge:
Eb2
I won't bow to idols
           B(add4)
I'll stand strong and worship You
      Gm7
If it puts me in the fire
       Bb/D
I'll rejoice cause You're there too
  Eb2
I won't be formed by feelings
       B(add4)
I hold fast to what is true
       Gm7
If the cross brings transformation
              Bb/D
Then I'll be crucified with You
       Eb2
'Cause death is just the doorway
     B(add4)
Into resurrection life
     Gm7
If I join You in Your sufferings
          Bb/D
Then I'll join You when You rise
         Eb2
And when You return in glory
             B(add4)
With all the angels and the saints
   Gm7
My heart will still be singing
       B(add4)
And my song will be the same


Final Chorus:
Bb           Bbsus/C Eb2
O Christ be magnified

Let His praise arise

Christ be magnified in me
Bb/F               Gm7
O Christ be magnified
                       Bb/D
From the altar of my life

Christ be magnified in me
