Beautiful Savior by Philip King — Lyrics
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 flowers of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer,

About Beautiful Savior
This arrangement of the hymn tune SCHÖNSTER HERR JESU offers a radiant tribute to Christ, suitable for any occasion celebrating faith. The SATB setting by Philip King draws the listener into a world of natural beauty, comparing the glories of creation to the surpassing beauty and purity of Jesus. The text expresses a deep personal devotion, calling Christ the light of the soul and the crown of the believer. The music, sung in English, builds from intimate expressions of love and service to a grand declaration of Christ’s superiority over all earthly and heavenly glories, making it an inspiring anthem for congregational singing or a reflective piece for a sacred service.
