Lyrics : Fairest Lord Jesus
Tim Mullen Music

Fairest Lord Jesus

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.
