<p>Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,<br>
|
|
O Thou of God and man the Son,<br>
|
|
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,<br>
|
|
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy and crown.</p>
|
|
<p>Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,<br>
|
|
Robed in the blooming garb of spring;<br>
|
|
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,<br>
|
|
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.</p>
|
|
<p>Fair is the sunshine,<br>
|
|
Fairer still the moonlight,<br>
|
|
And all the twinkling starry host;<br>
|
|
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer<br>
|
|
Than all the angels heaven can boast.</p>
|
|
<p>All fairest beauty, heavenly and earthly,<br>
|
|
Wondrously, Jesus, is found in Thee;<br>
|
|
None can be nearer, fairer or dearer,<br>
|
|
Than Thou, my Savior, art to me.</p>
|
|
<p>Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations!<br>
|
|
Son of God and Son of Man!<br>
|
|
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,<br>
|
|
Now and forever more be Thine.</p>

|
<p>Beautiful Savior, King of Creation<br>
|

Son of God and Son of Man!<br>

Truly I’d love Thee, truly I’d serve Thee,<br>

|
Light of my soul, my joy, my crown.</p>

<p>Fair are the meadows, Fair are the woodlands,<br>
|
|
Robed in the flowers of blooming spring;<br>
|
|
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,<br>
|
|
He makes our sorrowing spirit sing.</p>
|
|
<p>Fair is the sunshine, Fair is the moonlight,<br>
|

Bright the sparkling stars on high;<br>
|
|
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer<br>
|

Than all the angels in the sky.</p>
