Text: | Fairest Lord Jesus |
Tune: | SCHÖNSTER HERR JESU |
1 Fairest Lord Jesus,
Ruler of all nature,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Thee will I cherish,
thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
2 Fair are the meadows,
Fair are 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,
Fair is the moonlight,
And all the twinkling, starry host:
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heav'n can boast.
4 Beautiful Saviour!
Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor,
praise, adoration,
Now and for evermore be thine.
Amen.
