Closing Hymn “Fairest Lord Jesus”
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 Beautiful Saviour Lord of all the nations Son of God and Son of Man
Glory and honor praise adoration now and forevermore be Thine
Benediction:
