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!

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!

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!

All fairest beauty,
Heavenly and earthly,
Wondrously, Jesus, is found in Thee;
None can be nearer,
Fairer, or dearer,
Than Thou my Savior art to me.

This song brought back wonderful memories of my childhood. It took me back to when we cherished God's word and love of God was a very important factor in our lives. Sunday school, VBS, taught me about Jesus, as I matured I appreciated Sunday morning service.

I dearly love the Lord Jesus Christ. This song has a beautiful melody and is a beautiful way to worship our Lord Jesus Christ. Glory, honor, and blessing be unto Him for now and evermore.

There was such a beautiful, full moon last night, and it caused me to reflect on this hymn, learnt as a youngster. Just now, I'm playing this and singing it to my 10 month old granddaughter. Thankful for this website.
Our late Dad's favourite hymn! Today's his 100th birthday and we his children propose to sing it to honour our Lord!

I woke up this morning singing this powerful hymn and I kept on singing as the Presence of the Lord saturated the atmosphere. Love this hymn.
