Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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.


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.] 


Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations,

Son of God and Son of Man!

Glory and honor, praise, adoration,

now and forevermore be thine!
