Fairest Lord Jesus
The history of the hymn
"Fairest Lord Jesus" is not certain. But
the followers of John Huss were one of
the first groups to sing this hymn. The
Hussites were expelled from Bohemia,
Silesia (now part of Poland) in 1620.
They were strong believers in hymn
singing. They were persecuted for their
faith and John Huss became a martyr but
they could still sing praises like Paul
and Silas did when they were imprisoned
in Philippi.
Listen To: Fairest Lord Jesus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
heav'n can boast!
Beautiful savior! Lord of all the
nations!
Son of God and son of Man! Glory and
honor.
Praise, adoration, now and forevermore
be Thine!
