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 heav'n can boast
Beautiful Savior
Lord of all the nations
Son of God and Son of man
Glory and honor
Praise adoration
Now and forever more be
Glory and honor
Praise adoration
Now and forever more be Thine
