1Fairest Lord Jesus
Jesus' Glory and PraiseJ. A. Seiss, 1677From Schlesische Volkslieder, 1842 Arr. by Richard S. Willis (1819-1900)
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 art my glory, joy, and crown.
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.
3
Fair is the sunshine, Fairer still the moonlight,And all the twinkling, starry host;Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purerThan all the angels heaven can boast.
