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.

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.
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.

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