Christ Be Magnified lyrics

|Verse 1|

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!’

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|

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|

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!’

O be lifted high, Jesus

|Bridge|

I won’t bow to idols, I’ll stand strong and worship You

And if it puts me through 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, You can hang me there with You

‘Cause death is just the doorway into resurrection life

And if I join You in Your suffering 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
