hymnal 32 1 Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature, O Thou of God and man the Son; Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor, T'hou, 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 heaven can boast. amen.
