Schönster Herr Jesu
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schönster Herr Jesu, 
Herrscher aller Enden,
Gottes und Mariens Sohn,
Dich will ich lieben, 
Dich will ich ehren,
Du meiner Seele Freud' und Kron'!

Schön sind die Felder,
schöner sind die Wälder
in der schönen Frühlingszeit.
Jesus ist schöner,
Jesus ist reiner,
der unser traurig' Herz erfreut!

Schön leucht't die Sonne,
noch schöner der Mond
und die Sternlein allzumal;
Jesus leucht't schöner,
Jesus leucht't reiner
als all die Englein im Himmelssaal.
