    What text do you most commonly associate with the hymn tune ST ELIZABETH?

    Beautiful Savior or Fairest Lord Jesus. (Used at President Kennedy's funeral.)

    The former (Beautiful Savior) is the final stanza of the latter (Fairest Lord Jesus).

    It's an example, along with All People That On Earth Do Dwell/Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow, of a hymn text where the first stanza can be reversed from the stanza. Anyone have a list of those hymn texts?

    This is often done with the longer Latin hymns of the Office, too.
