You?re brighter than the morning star.
You?re fairer, much fairer
Than the lily that grows by the wayside
Precious, more precious than gold.
Jesus, sweet Jesus, what a wonder you are
You?re brighter than the morning star.
You?re fairer, much fairer
Than the lily that grows by the wayside
Precious, more precious than gold.
You?re the Rose of Sharon,
You?re the fairest of the fair.
You are all my heart could ever desire;
Jesus, Sweet Jesus, what a wonder you are,
You?re precious, more precious than gold.
Jesus, sweet Jesus, what a wonder you are
You?re brighter than the morning star.
You?re fairer, much fairer
Than the lily that grows by the wayside
Precious, more precious than gold.
