\\nFairest Lord Jesus
\\nAnonymous German Hymn
\\n
\\nFairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
\\nO Thou of God and man the Son,
\\nThee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,
\\nThou, my soul?s glory, joy and crown.
\\n
\\nFair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,
\\nRobed in the blooming garb of spring;
\\nJesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
\\nWho makes the woeful heart to sing.
\\n
\\nFair is the sunshine,
\\nFairer still the moonlight,
\\nAnd all the twinkling starry host;
\\nJesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
\\nThan all the angels heaven can boast.
\\n
\\nAll fairest beauty, heavenly and earthly,
\\nWondrously, Jesus, is found in Thee;
\\nNone can be nearer, fairer or dearer,
\\nThan Thou, my Savior, art to me.
\\n
\\nBeautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations!
\\nSon of God and Son of Man!
\\nGlory and honor, praise, adoration,
\\nNow and forever more be Thine.
