Representative lyrics
German (Original Language)
1. Schönster Herr Jesus, Herrscher aller Welten, Gottes und Marien Sohn. Dich will ich lieben, dich will ich ehren, du meiner Seele Freud und Wonn.
2. Schön leucht die Sonne, schön auch sind der Monde und die Sterne ohne Zahl. Jesus leucht schöner, Jesus leucht reiner als seine Engel allzumal.
3. Alle die Schönheit Himmels und der Erden ist gefaßt in dir allein. Nichts soll mir werden lieber auf Erden als du, der schönste Jesus mein.

Beautiful Savior (Crusader’s Hymn)
Children’s Songbook (1989, 2021-digital), p. 62
Arranger: Darwin Wolford
1. Fair is the sunshine, Fairer the moonlight And all the stars in heav’n above; Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer And brings to all the world his love.
2. Fair are the meadows, Fairer the woodlands, Robed in the flowers of blooming spring; Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer. He makes the sorrowing spirit sing.
3. Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations! Son of God and Son of Man! Thee will I honor, praise, and give glory, Give praise and glory evermore! Evermore!
