Laudes Domini ‎#367

367. "Altogether lovely"

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 heaven can boast.
