FAIREST LORD JESUS RULER OF ALL NATURE
Oh Thou of God and man the Son
Thee will I cherish Thee will I honour
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
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
Beautiful Saviour Lord of the nations
Son of God and Son of Man
Glory and honour praise adoration
Now and forever more be Thine
