Traditional version beautifully sung and played on a single acoustic guitar by 20schemes Music / Hope Community Church Barlanark. Unrushed (72 bpm). Each chord is played as an arpeggio with 2 bass notes and ringing two note interval (see YouTube performance). Can obviously be played on any fret. Can also easily be played in standard tuning if desired. I made a few personal preference chord revisions from the original, particularly on the last line of each verse.Was this info helpful?
Difficulty: intermediate
Tuning: D A D G B E
Key: Eb
Capo: 8th fret

   in      Thine ocean depths its flow    may richer       ful          -     er   be                (Oh)
 
 
[Verse 2]
   G                           G - D
Oh light that followest all my way
  D7                           D - D7
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
   G       B7                  Em - Em7
My heart restores its borrowed ray
     A7                          G
That in thy sunshine's blaze its day
    D/A       G/B  - D7/C G
May brighter, fair - er   be
 
[Verse 3]
   G                           G - D
Oh Joy that seekest me through pain
  D7                       D - D7
I cannot close my heart to thee;
  G         B7                  Em - Em7
I trace the rainbow through the rain
    A7                      G
And feel the promise is not vain
     D/A        G/B  - D7/C G
That morn shall tear - less be
 
[Verse 4]
   G                        G - D
Oh Cross that liftest up my head
  D7                       D - D7
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
  G      B7                Em - Em7
I lay in dust life's glory dead
    A7                             G
And from the ground there blossoms red
     D/A        G/B - D7/C G
Life that shall end - less be
