About these charts
Every chord here was worked out from the hymn's actual four-part harmony (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), not guessed from the melody. On each beat the notes all four voices are singing are put together, quick passing and neighbor notes are smoothed out, and the bass note decides the inversion — so you'll see C/E when the bass sings E under a C chord. Chords change above the syllable where the harmony changes.
Your hymnal may use a different harmonization from the one here, so a chord or two can differ from a chart you know. Simple chords turns slash chords and 7ths into plain chords for beginners. Numbers shows the Nashville number system (1 is the chord of the key, 5 the dominant, “5/7” means the 5 chord over the 7th note in the bass).
Music and words: public domain, from the Open Hymnal Project. Chords derived from the four-part harmony. Piano sound: Salamander Grand Piano (CC-BY 3.0, Alexander Holm).
