#88 Fairest Lord Jesus
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 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
Than all the angels heaven can boast.
			
Verse 4
Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, Praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be Thine!
