Author: Joseph A. Seiss, 1823-1904 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #47 (2006) First Line: Fairest Lord Jesus! Lyrics: 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.
4 Beautiful Savior!
Lord of all nations!
Son of God and Son of man!
Glory and honor,
Praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be Thine!
Amen. Topics: Adoration; Christ Beauty of; Christ Life and Ministry; Worship Languages: English Tune Title: CRUSADERS' HYMN
