lyrics

VERSE 1
Fairest Lord Jesus! Ruler of all nature.
You of God and man the Son!
You will I cherish. You will I honor.
You're 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 if purer.
He makes the woeful heart to sing.

VERSE 3
Beautiful Savior! Lord of all nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor. Praise, adoration.
Now and forever all in Your hand

OUTRO
Fairest Lord.
Gracious Master holding us together.
