Schönster Herr Jesu -- Hymn -- Karn Reed Organ

Schönster Herr Jesu is a familiar hymn, also known in English as "Fairest Lord Jesus", or "Beautiful Savior".
The tune is known as "Crusader's Hymn", a Silesian folk tune from Schlesische Volkslieder from 1842.
This recording is just me sitting down and playing a unrehearsed tune on my recently restored Karn reed organ, made in Woodstock, Ontario, in 1905. For more information on the restoration, visit: www.rodneyjantzi.com/karn/

The first time I ever sang a solo in church it was Beautiful Saviour. This video reminds me of that time AND as a young kid visiting with my Grandmother's cousin on a farm and hearing her play this tune on the reed organ she had in her living room.
