Fairest Lord Jesus
Author: Anonymous Meter: 5.6.8.5.5.8 Appears in 571 hymnals Topics: Christ Life and Ministry First Line: Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature Lyrics: 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 heaven can boast.
4 Beautiful Savior!
Lord of all the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor,
praise, adoration,
now and forevermore be thine.
United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

Sweeter as the Years Go by
Author: Lelia N. Morris Appears in 118 hymnals Topics: Christ Life and Ministry; Christ Life and Ministry First Line: Of Jesus' love that sought me Lyrics: 1 Of Jesus’ love that sought me
When I was lost in sin--
Of wondrous grace that brought me
Back to His fold again--
Of heights and depths of mercy
Far deeper than the sea,
And higher than the heavens,
My theme shall ever be.
Chorus:
Sweeter as the years go by,
Sweeter as the years go by;
Richer, fuller, deeper,
Jesus’ love is sweeter,
Sweeter as the years go by.
2 He trod in old Judea
Life’s pathway long ago--
The people thronged about Him
His saving grace to know;
He healed the brokenhearted
And caused the blind to see;
And still His great heart yearneth
In love for even me. (Chorus)
3 ’Twas wondrous love which led Him
For us to suffer loss--
To bear without a murmur
The anguish of the cross;
With saints redeemed in glory,
Let us our voices raise,
Till heav’n and earth re-echo
With our Redeemer’s praise. (Chorus)
Scripture: Mark 5:24 Used With Tune: [Of Jesus' love that sought me]

Sweetest note in seraph song,
Sweetest name on mortal tongue,
Sweetest carol ever sung--
Jesus, blessed Jesus!
2 Your many sins are all forgiv'n--
O hear the voice of Jesus;
Go on your way in peace to heav'n
And wear a crown with Jesus. (Chorus)
3 All glory to the dying Lamb--
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior's name,
I love the name of Jesus. (Chorus)
4 And when to that bright world above
We rise to be with Jesus,
We'll sing around the throne of love
His name, the name of Jesus. (Chorus)

We May Not Climb the Heavenly steeps
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 262 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Life and Ministry; Jesus Life and Ministry Lyrics: 1 We may not climb the heavenly steeps
To bring the Lord Christ down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps,
For Him no depths can drown.
2 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is He;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
3 The healing of His seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch Him in life’s throng and press,
And we are whole again.
4 O Lord and Master of us all:
Whate’er our name or sign,
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call,
We test our lives by Thine!
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 9:21 Used With Tune: SERENITY

my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!
2 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread thro' all the earth abroad
the honors of your name.
3 Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease,
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life and health and peace.
4 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean;
his blood availed for me.
5 To God all glory, praise, and love
be now and ever given
by saints below and saints above,
the Church in earth and heaven.
