Hymn #170 - Fairest Lord Jesus (Click for full screen display)
Munster Gesngbuch, 1677

[V1]
 Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
 Son of God and Son of Man!
 Thee will I cherish, thee will I honor,
 thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
 
[v2]
 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.
 
[V3]
 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.
 
[v4]
 Beautiful Savior!  Lord of the nations!
 Son of God and Son of Man!
 Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
 now and forevermore be thine.
