Fairest Lord Jesus,
King of creation,
Son of God and Mary’s Son:
Thee will I cherish,
Thee will I honour,
O Thou my soul’s delight and crown.

Fair are the meadows,
Fair are the woodlands,
In the garb of verdant spring:
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer;
He makes the saddest heart to sing.
3
Fair is the sunshine,
Fair is the moonlight,
Bright the stars that gem the sky.
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer,
Than all the hosts of God on high.
4
Fairest Lord Jesus,
King of creation,
Son of God and Mary’s Son:
Glory and honour,
Praise, adoration,
Ever be Thine, and Thine alone.
