Fairest Lord Jesus

Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once, upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!

Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
Unto Christ our heav’nly King, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

But the pains which he endured, Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured; Alleluia!
Now above the sky he’s King, Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!

Sing we to our God above, Alleluia!
Praise eternal as his love; Alleluia!
Praise him, all ye heavenly host, Alleluia!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia!

Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone,
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the church in one;
Holy Zion’s help forever,
And her confidence alone.

All that dedicated city,
Dearly loved of God on high,
In exultant jubilation
Pours perpetual melody;
God the One in Three adoring
In glad hymns eternally.

To this temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of hosts, today;
With Thy wonted lovingkindness
Hear Thy people as they pray;
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.

Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants
What they ask of Thee to gain,
What they gain from Thee forever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in Thy glory
Evermore with Thee to reign.

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

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

The Suffering Servant
Who is this God did forsake;
Who Himself our griefs did take?
Stricken, smitten by His God;
Our transgressions brought the rod?

   The Great I Am Whom we call Saviour,
   Mighty God, and Prince of Peace;
   The Righteous Servant of Jehovah;
   Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest.
   As a Father to His children
   Everlasting He will be.
   Our Counselor, Most Wonderful,
   Immanuel, ‘tis He.

Who is this for us now bruised;
Oppressed, afflicted, and abused?
Like a lamb to slaughter led;
All of our sins placed on His head?

Who is this Whose stripes can heal,
Justify, and pardon seal?
Poured His soul out unto death;
And bore our sin ‘til His last breath?

Who is this from Whom we strayed;
Everyone to his own way?
And from Him we hid our face;
Condemned He stood to take our place.

Who is this Who intercedes;
Poor lost sheep, their case He pleads?
All our sin on Him was laid.
He bore God’s wrath; the debt’s been paid.

Jesus Shall Reign
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun 
Does its successive journeys run
His kingdom spread from shore to shore
Till moons shall wax and wane no more

To Him shall endless prayer be made
And endless praises crown His head
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice

   To our King be highest praise
   Rising through eternal  days
   Just and faithful – He shall reign.
   Jesus shall reign.

People and realms of every tongue 
Dwell on His love with sweetest song
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name

Let every creature rise and bring 
His grateful honors to our King
Angels descend with songs again
And earth repeat the loud “Amen!”
