Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature
O Thou of God and man the Song
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
