  
BEAUTIFUL SAVIOR
Words written by German
Jesuits as Schoenster Herr Jesu in the 17th Century. Published in the Muenster
Gesangbuch, 1677, and translated from German to English by Joseph August
Seiss, 1873.
Beautiful Savior, King of creation
Son of God and Son of Man !
Truly I'd love Thee, truly I'd
serve Thee,
Light of my soul, my joy, my
crown.
Fair are the meadows, Fair are
the woodlands,
Robed in the flowers of blooming
spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
He makes our sorrowing spirit
sing.
Fair is the sunshine, Fair is
the moonlight,
Bright the sparkling stars on
high;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus
shines purer
Than all the angels in the sky.
Beautiful Savior, Lord of the
nations,
Son of God and Son of Man !
Glory and honor, Praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be Thine !
