- Happy Earth Day! To celebrate, enjoy this familiar hymn tune, sometimes known by the name of Beautiful Savior or Fairest Lord Jesus.
From twinkling stars to robes of spring, from sunlight to moonlight, we honor the beauty of our great earth today. And, in particular, this hymn text affirms Jesus as even more awe-inspiring than it all. Our earth is deserving of love and respect, as a gift from God to surprise, delight, and astound us every day at its magnitude and beauty.
This brilliant setting by Mark Hayes and Marvin Gaspard reflects the wonderful sensitivity of the freshness of spring, building to a profound and majestic adoration for the dramatic final verse.
Musician nerd moment: listen to the chord at 2:30 - sound familiar? It's the same chord as Willcocks uses in the final verse of O Come All Ye Faithful that gives us all the chills! Equally as impactful here!
Lyrics
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 forevermore be thine.
