Fairest Lord Jesus SCHÖNSTER HERR JESU - Treasury 555

1. Fairest Lord Jesus,
King of creation,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Thee will I cherish,
Thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown.
2. Fair are the meadows,
Fair are 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,
Fair is 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!
Music: Silesian melody, Leipzig, 1842
