1. Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the son;
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honour,
Thou, my soul's glory, joy and crown

2. Fair are the meadow's fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

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 hea'en can boast.
