Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature

O Thou of God and man, the Son
Em          Dm       G             C

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 4:
Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be Thine!
