Fairest Lord Jesus | Hymn Story, Analysis and Performance

A beautiful classic hymn with a confusing history. Was this sung during the crusades? Was it sung by a group of haymakers in Glaz? Nobody is sure – but we are sure of this: “Fairest Lord Jesus” is a beautiful hymn of praise. ➡️ My audio daily devos: @LukePowellDailyDevotions 🙏 Support this ministry: https://lukepowellministries.com/supp... ✉️ Join my weekly mailing list: https://lukepowellministries.com/mail... 🎵 Buy my music: https://lukepowellministries.com/store Sources: Osbeck, K.W. 1985. 101 Hymn Stories.

LYRICS 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. 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. 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 heav’n can boast. 4 All fairest beauty, heavenly and earthly, Wondrously, Jesus, is found in Thee; None can be nearer, fairer or dearer, Than Thou, my Savior, art to me. 5 Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations! Son of God and Son of Man! Glory and honor, praise, adoration, Now and forevermore be Thine.
