I used CowManJones' version and added and changed some Chords.
It should sound quite good, although I can't comletely guarantee for accuracy.
The original song seems to be played like this in Half-Step-Down-Tuning.

If you like it, check out my GP5 Acoustic Version including Vocals!
 
Have fun :)

Verse 1:

Em                                               D
All my life, I've waited and watched through the eyes of faith
   Em                     C D Em
To see the consolation of Israel
Em                                          D
And even though the flame of my life is now growing dim
  Em                          C D Em
I know I'll see the Savior of Israel
        G                      D
For the Spirit of the Lord has promised unto me
     G                               C         D    Em
That I would not see death before my eyes have seen Him
    G                     D
The promise is alive, for through this little child
      G                        C D Em
God's holy light illuminates Jerusalem

Chorus 3 is played three times, but the G in the beginning is only used for the 
first time. For the last two times of it you can add these Backing Vocals:


A                               E
When all the world was sleeping deep in darkness
F#m

No royal treatment, just a dark cross to bear

A star to guide the way, forever shining
D                            E
New hope was born for all creation that night
A 
For though the darkness came the brightest light
