Program Notes:
“The Beauty of Jesus” is a jazz waltz arrangement based on a Salvation Army song written by General Albert Orsborn, who is referred to by many as the Poet General. It was written in 1916 at the height of the First World War, so the song’s message, which is an encouragement to follow the example left by Jesus, was especially poignant and in stark contrast to the realities of everyday life.
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me,
All his wonderful passion and purity,
O thou Spirit divine, all my nature refine,
Till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me.
