FAIREST LORD JESUS
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, my soul's
glory, joy, and crown!
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.
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
heav'n can boast.
4. All scenes of
beauty,
All on earth, above
the sky,
Are to be found, O
Lord, in Thee.
None can be
brighter,
None can be
sweeter,
Than Jesus, Lord,
Thou art to me.
