Fairest Lord Jesus

Psalm 45:2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

This is a lovely psalm which is occupied with the person of Christ. 


We need to behold Him more, to worship Him more. 


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.


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.


Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations!   —    Son of God and Son of Man!   —    Glory and honor, praise, adoration,   —    Now and forevermore be Thine.
