Lyrics

Verse 1

Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature, O Thou of God and man the Son! Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, Thou art my glory, joy, and crown.

Verse 2

Fair are the meadows, Fairer still the woodlands, Robed in the blooming garb of spring; Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

Verse 3

Fair is the sunshine, Fairer still the moonlight, And all the twinkling, starry host; Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer Than all the angels heaven can boast.

Verse 4

Beautiful Savior, Lord of the nations, Son of God and Son of Man! Glory and honor, Praise, adoration, Now and forevermore be Thine!
