Fairest Lord Jesus
Anonymous German Hymn

D  (Bm)      Em A D   D    (Bm)    Em A D 
Fairest Lord Jesus,   Ruler of all nature,
D/F#  G       D       A7/D  D   A 
O     Thou of God and man   the Son;
D/F#        B7  Em   G           A7 D 
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor
     D/F#      G      D/A  A     D 
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.


E  (C#m)  F#m B E   E   (C#m)   F#m B E 
Beautiful Savior!   Lord of all nations!

Son    of God and Son   of  Man!
E/G#      C#7 F#m  A          B7 E 
Glory and honor,   praise, adoration,
    E/G#   A    E/B  B  E 
Now and forever more be Thine.
