Fairest Lord Jesus,

1. Fairest Lord Jesus,
Lord of all creation,
Jesus, of God and man the Son;
You will I cherish,
You will I honour,
You are my soul’s delight and crown.

2. Fair are the rivers,
Meadows and forests
Clothed in the fresh green robe of Spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
He makes the saddest heart to sing.

3. Fair is the sunrise,
Starlight and moonlight
Spreading their glory across the sky;
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines clearer,
Than all the heavenly host on high.

4. All fairest beauty,
Heavenly and earthly,
Jesus, my Lord, in You I see;
None can be nearer,
Fairer or dearer,
Thank you, my Saviour, are to me

Dear Lord and Father of mankind,

1. Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways;
Reclothe us in our rightful mind;
In purer love Thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.

2. In simple trust like theirs who heard
Beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow Thee.

3.Oh, Sabbath rest by Galilee!
Oh, calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love.

4. With that deep hush subduing all
Our words and works that drown
The tender whisper of Thy call,
As noiseless let Thy blessing fall
As fell Thy manna down.

5.Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.

6.Breathe through the heart of our desire
Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake,
wind, and fire, O still small voice of calm!
