Tune: | CRUSADER'S HYMN |
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 Beautiful Savior!
Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor,
praise, adoration,
now and forevermore be Thine!
