Fairest Lord Jesus
Ruler of all nature
O Thou art God
And man,the son
Thee, will I cherish
Thee, will I honor
Thou, my soul's only joy and Christ
Fair are the meadows
Fairer still the woodlands
Mold in the blooming God of spring
Jesus (Jesus is fairer)
Jesus (is pure)
Who makes the wrongful heart to see?
Fair is the sunshine
Fairer still the moonlight
And all that weakling, starry pose
Oh Jesus (Oh, my Jesus shines brighter)
(Oh, my Jesus shines purer)
Than all the angels Heaven can bolt out
Beautiful Savior,
Lord of the nations
Son of God and Son of Man
Glory and honor
Praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine
Glory and honor, praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine
