Fairest Lord Jesus

Fairest Lord Jesus,

Ruler of all nature,

O Thou of God and man the Son;

Thee will I cherish,

Thee will I honour,

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 all the twinkling, starry host:

Jesus shines brighter,

Jesus shines purer,

Than all the angels heaven can boast.
