Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature

O Thou of God and man the Son

Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor

Thou my soul's 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.



Fair is the sunshine, Fairer still the moonlight

And fair the twinkling starry host

Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer

Then all the angels heav'n can boast.



All fairest beauty, heavenly and earthly

Wondrously Jesus is found in Thee

None can be nearer, fairer or dearer

Than Thou my Savior art to me...
