Burl Ives - Fairest Lord Jesus Lyrics

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
