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, my soul’s 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 heav’n can boast!
verse 4 Beautiful Saviour! Lord of all the nations! Son of God and Son of Man! Glory and honor, Praise, adoration, Now and forevermore be thine.
