[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Fairest Lord Jesus,
Ruler of all nature,
O thou of God and man the Son!
Thee will I cherish,
Thee will I honor,
Thou, art my glory, joy, and crown.

[Verse 2]
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.

[Verse 3]
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.

[Verse 4]
Beautiful Savior!
Lord of all the nations,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor,
Praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be thine.
