I was thinking changing last chord of verse into G7 (is now C, but sounds not good to me).

When you manage to find the partiture of this song, and find singers to complete soprane, alt, tenor and bas voices, then you'll find that each voice has a little solo in this song. This makes that singers like this song so much. In chorus line 2 each voices sing "May God" long, while tenor sing it fast and 2x.

I've repeated some chords, so that every beat has now it's own chord. Also repositioned F chord in last line verse (one sylabel later). If you disagree, please write a comment here or sent me a message.
