Beautiful Savior MP3 Recording :   Hi-speed    Dialup    Download View/print sheet music:     Master Score     SATB     SSA     Organ Score     Flute Score Traditional words and music, arranged by Sally DeFord The words to this traditional hymn can be found in many different forms. I have used the version below simply because it is my favorite. This arrangement calls for piano, organ and flute. You could perform this with just the piano, but some of the elements that are present only in the organ and flute parts would definitely be missed. The organ score is about the difficulty of a typical hymn. The piano accompaniments for the SSA and SSATB versions are virtually identical, and the same organ and flute scores are used for both. The master score contains only the SSATB vocal parts. The vocal demo linked above is a rendition of the SSA version by my daughter Holly and me, doing our best imitation of a women's chorus. It won't fool anyone into believing it's a real women's chorus, but it will give you some idea how the arrangement sounds with all its various components. Lyrics: Fair is the sunlight; fair is the moonlight, and all the stars in heaven above Jesus shines brighter; Jesus shines purer and brings to all the world His love Fair are the meadows; fair are the woodlands robed in the flowers of blooming spring Jesus is fairer; Jesus is purer; He makes the sorrowing spirit sing Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations; Son of God and Son of man Glory and honor, praise, adoration now and forever more be thine Amen. Lyrics in Filipino (Translation by Mark Tan Pacino) Church Music Contest: Relief Society division--Award of Merit 2005 (SSA version).
