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!
  
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 purer,
  Than all the angels heav'n can boast!
  
4. All fairest beauty,
  Heavenly and earthly,
  Wondrously, Jesus, is found in Thee;
  None can be nearer,
  Fairer, or dearer,
  Than Thou my Savior art to me.
