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 all the nations!
Son of God and Son of man!
Glory and honor,
praise, adoration,
now and forevermore be thine! Topics: Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ Light of the World; Jesus Christ's Divinity; Jesus Christ's Humanity Used With Tune: SCHÖNSTER HERR JESU Text Sources: Gesangbuch, Münster, 1677
