The Singing Of Fairest Lord Jesus

Fairest Lord Jesus is written by Milnster Gesangbuch, 1677. This song is not the familiar Sunday school song, but rather it is a beautiful version written more than 300 years ago.

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 heaven can boast. Amen.
