Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
C  F       C       G7  C   G
O Thou of God and man the Son;
 C    F   C  A7  Dm        C  Dm  G7 C
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor
     Am         F      C   G7  C
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 fair the twinkling starry host;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer,
Then all the angels heav'n can boast.

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.
