Fairest Lord Jesus

Verse 1
Fairest Lord Je­sus, Rul­er of all na­ture, (Ps. 45:2)
O Thou of God and man the Son,
Thee will I cher­ish, Thee will I hon­or,
Thou, my soul’s 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 (Matt. 17:2, Rev. 1:16)
Than all the an­gels Heav’n can boast. (Heb. 1:3-4)

Verse 4
All fair­est beau­ty, heav­en­ly and earth­ly,
Wondrously, Je­sus, is found in Thee;
None can be near­er, fair­er or dear­er,
Than Thou, my Sav­ior, art to me. (Ps. 73:25)

Verse 5
Beautiful Sav­ior! Lord of all the na­tions!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and hon­or, praise, ad­or­ation,
Now and for­ev­er more be Thine. (Rev. 5:12-13, I Tim. 1:17, Heb. 13:21, Rev. 4:11)
