Hymn of the month · January
Fairest Lord Jesus
Anonymous; Friedrich von Spee
Verse 1
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.
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 heaven can boast.

Go for a winter walk and point out something beautiful God made. Then sing the hymn and listen for the beautiful things it names.
