The
history of the hymn "Fairest Lord Jesus" is not certain. But
the followers of John Huss were one of the first groups to sing this hymn. The
Hussites were expelled from Bohemia, Silesia (now part of Poland) in 1620. They
were strong believers in hymn singing. They were persecuted for their faith and
John Huss became a martyr.
Fairest
Lord Jesus Fairest
Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature, Fair
are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands, Fair
is the sunshine, Beautiful
Saviour! Lord of all the nations!
