Beautiful Jesus

One despised and rejected of men

Became the beautiful fairest of all

If we see with the eyes of our hearts

He becomes the vision of the ones who are called.

According to his purpose

According to his plan

Son of God you are the son of man.

Beautiful Jesus, so good and so true

Beautiful Jesus we turn our gaze to you

The glory shining from your face

Lights up our world with glorious grace

Beautiful Jesus, be ever in our view.

Be our vision, be our dream

Reveal to us now what holiness means

Redeem our sight so we can realize

Reveal to our heart's wakening eye

More beauty that we've ever seen

Beautiful Jesus let us see

The beauty of your mystery

Beautiful Jesus make yourself know

We seek to see all you have shown.

We seek to show all we have seen.

Be our vision, be our dream

Show us beauty in the extreme

Open our eyes so we can see

The beautiful man of mystery

Reveal to us now what holiness means
