15. Fairest Lord Jesus! Rule or all nature!
1 Fairest Lord Jesus! Rule or 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
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 noon light,
And all the twinkling starry host:
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heav’n can boast.
4 Beautiful Saviour! Lord of the nations Son of God and Son of man!
Glory and honour, praise, adoration
Now and forever more be Thine!
