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.

Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations! Son of God and Son of Man!Glory and honor, praise, adoration, now and forever more be Thine.

Date: 17th century

Writer(s): Munster Gesangbuch

Inspiration for writing: We don’t much about the background of this hymn. Some actually suggest it was sung as early as the 12th century by German crusaders on their way to Israel. Other suggest the followers of John Hus sang it during the anti-Reformation in 1620.

5 Lessons:

  1. Jesus Christ is a gentle, pure, bright and beautifully sovereign Ruler.

  2. Jesus Christ created all things.

  3. Jesus Christ is both God and man.

  4. Jesus Christ is our soul’s ultimate desire and pleasure.

  5. The personhood of Christ should not lead us to sin.
