Chords with lyrics

Capo on 3rd fret

A minorAm                 E MajorE
Built on the Rock the Church shall stand
A minorAm    C majorC       D MajorD E MajorE A minorAm
Even when steeples are falling.
A minorAm               E MajorE
Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land;
A minorAm        C majorC     D MajorD E MajorE A minorAm
Bells still are chiming and calling,
A minorAm     E minorEm    C majorC  G+G C majorC
Calling the young and old to rest,
A minorAm     C majorC    BB    E MajorE
But above all the soul distressed,
A minorAm      FF    E MajorE  A minorAm
Longing for rest everlasting.

A minorAm             E MajorE
Surely in temples made with hands
A minorAm      C majorC      D MajorD E MajorE A minorAm
God, the Most High, is not dwelling;
A minorAm             E MajorE
High above earth his temple stands,
A minorAm     C majorC    D MajorD E MajorE A minorAm
All earthly temples excelling.
A minorAm     E minorEm    C majorC   G+G C majorC
Yet he who dwells in heav'n above
A minorAm     C majorC     BB   E MajorE
Chooses to live with us in love,
A minorAm     FF     E MajorE A minorAm
Making our bodies his temple.

A minorAm              E MajorE
We are God's house of living stones,
A minorAm      C majorC    D MajorD E MajorE A minorAm
Built for his own habitation.
A minorAm              E MajorE
He through baptismal grace us owns
A minorAm      C majorC      D MajorD E MajorE A minorAm
Heirs of his wondrous salvation.
A minorAm     E minorEm   C majorC  G+G C majorC
Were we but two his name to tell,
A minorAm      C majorC     BB   E MajorE
Yet he would deign with us to dwell
A minorAm      FF       E MajorE A minorAm
With all his grace and his favor.

A minorAm               E MajorE
Here stands the font before our eyes,
A minorAm     C majorC     D MajorD E MajorE A minorAm
Telling how God did receive us.
A minorAm               E MajorE
Th' altar recalls Christ's sacrifice
A minorAm      C majorC     D MajorD E MajorE  A minorAm
And what the sacrament gives us.
A minorAm       E minorEm     C majorC  G+G C majorC
Here sound the Scriptures that proclaim
A minorAm      C majorC    BB    E MajorE
Christ yesterday, today, the same,
A minorAm   FF      E MajorE A minorAm
And evermore, our Redeemer.

A minorAm               E MajorE
Grant then, O God, your will be done,
A minorAm       C majorC        D MajorD E MajorE A minorAm
That, when the church bells are ringing,
A minorAm            E MajorE
Many in saving faith may come
A minorAm        C majorC     D MajorD E MajorE A minorAm
Where Christ his message is bringing
A minorAm     E minorEm   C majorC  G+G  C majorC
"I know my own; my own know me.
A minorAm      C majorC     BB     E MajorE
You, not the world, my face shall see.
A minorAm     FF       E MajorE A minorAm
