Burl Ives
Fairest Lord Jesus
[Verse 1]
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
[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 heaven can boast
