O D'yos, Ikaw ang laging hanap.
      G          D/F#       E/G#         A
Loob ko'y Ikaw ang tanging hangad.

Nauuhaw akong parang tigang na lupa

sa tubig ng 'Yong pag-aaruga.

Verse 2
 D                   A/C#      Bm        D/A
Ika'y pagmamasdan sa dakong banal,
        G          D/F#   E/G#               A
nang makita ko ang 'Yong pagkarangal.
        D          A/C#        Bm              D/A
Dadalangin akong nakataas aking kamay,
         G             D/F#           Em        A
Magagalak na aawit ng papuring iaalay.

Koro:

Gunita ko'y Ikaw habang nahihimlay

Pagkat ang tulong Mo sa t'wina'y taglay.
      F#m G A/G                 F#m7  Bm7
Sa lilim ng Iyong mga pakpak,
   G    D/F#   Em               C    A
Uma-awit    akong buong galak.

Verse 3 (Do Verse 2 chords)
 Aking kaluluwa'y kumakapit sa 'Yo.
Kaligtasa'y t'yak kung hawak Mo ako.
Magdiriwang ang Hari, ang D'yos S'yang dahilan,
ang sa Iyo ay nangako galak yaong makakamtan.

(Ulitin ang Koro, liban sa huling guhit)

      G D/F#     Em7  D/F#    G     D/F#      Em7-G/A
Umaawit,  umaawit,      umaawit akong buong
GM9
galak...
