Author: Joseph Augustus Seiss Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #129 (1917) Meter: 5.5.7.5.5.8 Hymnal Title: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church Lyrics: 1 Beautiful Saviour!
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.
2 Fair are the meadows,
Fairer the woodlands,
Robed in flowers of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer;
He makes our sorrowing spirit sing.
3 Fair is the sunshine,
Fair is the moonlight,
And the sparkling stars on high;
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels in the sky.
4 Beautiful Saviour!
Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor,
Praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be Thine!
Amen. Topics: The Church Year The Kingdom and Glory of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: SCHÖNSTER HERR JESU
