  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 heaven could boast.
    A-men
