Lyrics
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
Beautiful savior, Lord of all the nations son of God and son of man
glory and honor, praise, adoration now and forevermore be thine
