49a. Bela Jesuo, estro de la estroj

1. Bela Jesuo, estro de la estroj,
Dia Filo sen kompar'!
Vin mi honoras, Vin mi adoras,
Vin, gvidant' tra l' vivo-mar'.

2. Belas la montoj, belas la arbaroj,
Mondo estas bel' sen fin'.
Sed, Jesu mia, jen belo Via
Multe pli ĝojigas min.

3. Belas la suno, belas ankaŭ luno,
Steloj sub la firmament'.
Pli bela brilo de l' Dia Filo
Ravas nin al ama sent'.

4. Belas la floroj, belas pli la homoj,
Dum la freŝa, juna fort'.
Jen ni forpasos, belon postlasos,
Sed Jesu savas nin de l' mort'.

5. Teran belecon kaj ĉiel-helecon
Superbrilas Via bel'.
Mia Savanto, Dia Peranto,
Mia nura amo-cel'!
