Beautiful Savior |
|
Ask a Lutheran person, and they will tell you that "Beautiful Savior" is one of their very favorite Hymns. It is a song of devotion to the one who saved us by the cross, Jesus Christ. We want to love and serve Jesus, and follow in His footsteps of peace and goodness. And we know that more than anything else, this is what brings inner joy. Beautiful Savior is a 17th century folksong from Silesia, now in Southwest Poland. It was first translated into English by Pastor Joseph Seiss of Philadelphia in 1877, but the Hungarians had been singing their version "Felséges Jézus" long before! Today, it is sung and loved by Lutherans, and many others around the world. We hope that "Beautiful Savior" becomes a treasured part of your own faith story as well. | |

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 the 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,
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! | | | | | |

In Hungarian..... Felséges Jézus...... |
Felséges Jézus, Világ fejedelme, Isten s Mária fia! Téged kívánlak, Téged imádlak, Örömöm, lelkem csillaga.2. Rétek és földek, Erdők, zúgó tölgyek Pompáznak, tavasz ha jő. Jézus virágzóbb, Jézus pompázóbb,
Szívünket vidámítja ő. 3. Holdnak sugára, Napnak fénylő árja S tenger csillag mind ragyog! Jézus sugárzóbb, Jézus pompázóbb, Szebb, mint a mennyben angyalok. 4. Szép a virágszál, Szebbek a virágnál Nyíló ifjú örömök. Jaj, de utolsó Ágyunk koporsó! Csak Jézus élete örök. 5. Boldogság, épség, Égi, földi szépség Csak tenálad van, tudom. Nincs még oly édes, Gyönyörűséges E földön, mint te, Jézusom!
