Beautiful Savior


1 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.

2 Fair are the meadows, Fair are the woodlands,
Robed in flow'rs of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, 
He makes our sorrowing spirit sing.

3 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.

4 Beautiful Savior, Lord of the nations, 
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, Praise, adoration, 
Now and forevermore be Thine!
