623. Beautiful Savior! King Of Creation

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,
Fairer the woodlands,
Robed in flow'rs of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer;
He makes our sorr'wing spirit sing.

3 Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer the moonlight
And 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 for evermore be Thine!
