In a hope to reform modern church music, I want to make available a handful of Psalms and hymns to which I have figured out chords. Please feel free to correct any mistakes in the comments section. Look for future posts for future songs.I honor of St Patrick's Day my first post will be the great hymn written by the man himself. There are several different translations of this song; this is the one I usually use.
Em Bm Em G Am G D
We bind unto ourselves today the strong Name of the Trinity,
C Bm Em Am G D Em
By invocation of the same the Three in One and One in Three.
G D Em G D
Our rock and tower, God of God, eternal Father, Spirit, Word
C Bm Em C G D Em
We claim the name of grace and might: Salvation is of Christ the Lord.
Em Bm Em G Am G D
Immanuel, incarnate Lord, from Mary’s womb was given breath,
C Bm Em Am G D Em
Was baptized in the Jordan’s ford, and gave His life to conquer death.
G D Em G D
He rose triumphant from the tomb, was lifted to the Father’s throne
C Bm Em C G D Em
To come on God’s dread day and doom and bring salvation for His own.
Em Bm Em G Am G D
By faith we claim his grace today: the power of God to hold and lead,
C Bm Em Am G D Em
His eye to watch, His might to stay, his ear to hearken to our need;
G D Em G D
The wisdom of out God to teach; His hand to guide, His shield to ward,
C Bm Em C G D Em
The word of God to give us speech, His heavenly host to be our guard.
