177. Fairest Lord Jesus

1 Fairest Lord Jesus,
Lord of all nature,
O thou of God and man the Son;
Thee will I cherish,
Thee will I honour,
Thou my soul’s glory, joy and crown.

2 Fair are the meadows,
Fairer 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 the moonlight,
And all the twinkling starry host;
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels Heaven can boast.

4 Beautiful Saviour,
Lord of the nations,
Son of God and Son of man,
Glory and honour,
Praise, adoration,
Now and for evermore be thine.
