Point Of Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O Thou art God and man, the son
Thee, will I cherish, Thee, will I honor
Thou, my soul's only joy and Christ
Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands
Mold in the blooming God of spring
Jesus, Jesus is fairer, Jesus is pure
Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight
And all that weakling, starry pose
Oh Jesus, oh, my Jesus shines brighter
Oh, my Jesus shines purer than all the angels Heaven can bolt out
Beautiful Savior, Lord of the nations
Son of the God and Son of Man
Glory and honor, praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine
Glory and honor, praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine
The song "Fairest Lord Jesus" is a hymn that praises Jesus Christ as the "Ruler of all nature" and the ultimate source of beauty and goodness in the world. The first verse likens Jesus to both God and man, emphasizing his divinity and humanity. The singer expresses a deep personal devotion to Jesus, stating that they will cherish and honor him above all else, and that he is the only source of joy for their soul.
In the second verse, the singer celebrates the beauty of nature as a reflection of God's glory, with meadows and woodlands blooming in the spring. But they also declare that Jesus is "fairer" and "purer" than even the most beautiful aspects of the natural world, and that he has the power to transform sinful hearts.
The final verse exalts Jesus as the "Lord of the nations" and calls for "glory and honor, praise, adoration" to be given to him forevermore. The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the singer's reverence for Jesus and underscores the enduring nature of their devotion.
