Chorus 1 [MALE LEAD, w/ Congregational singing] O Christ be magnified Let His praise arise Christ be magnified in me O Christ be magnified From the altar of my life Christ be magnified in me O Christ be magnified Let His praise arise Christ be magnified in me O Christ be magnified From the altar of my life Christ be magnified in me O Christ be magnified Let His praise arise Christ be magnified in me O Christ be magnified From the altar of my life Christ be magnified in me
Verse 1 [Male Lead] Were creation suddenly articulate? With a thousand tongues to lift one cry Then from north to south / and east to west We’d hear, “Christ be magnified!”
[ALL] Were the whole earth echoing His eminence? His name would burst from sea and sky From rivers to / the mountain tops We’d hear, “Christ be magnified!”
Chorus 2 [ALL] O Christ be magnified Let His praise arise Christ be magnified in me O Christ be magnified From the altar of my life Christ be magnified in me
Verse 2 [ALL] When every creature finds its inmost melody And every human heart its native cry O then in one enraptured hymn of praise We’ll sing Christ be magnified
Chorus 3 [ALL] O Christ be magnified Let His praise arise Christ be magnified in me O Christ be magnified From the altar of my life Christ be magnified in me O Christ be magnified Let His praise arise Christ be magnified in me O Christ be magnified From the altar of my life Christ be magnified in me
Bridge 1 [MALE LEAD] I won’t bow to idols I’ll stand strong and worship You If it puts me in the fire I’ll rejoice ‘cause You’re there too I won’t be formed by feelings I hold fast to what is true If the cross brings transformation Then I’ll be crucified with You
[ALL] ‘Coz death is just the doorway Into resurrection life If I join You in Your sufferings Then I’ll join You when You rise And when You return in glory With all the angels and the saints My heart will still be singing And my song will be the same I won’t bow to idols I’ll stand strong and worship You If it puts me in the fire I’ll rejoice ‘cause You’re there too
