Great, O King, is our happiness in thy, thou, our King

Great, O King, is our happiness
in thy kingdom, thou, our King.

We dance before thee, our King,
by the strength of thy kingdom.

May our feet be made strong;
let us dance before thee, eternal.

Give you praise, all angels,
to him above who is worthy of praise.

Prayer in sacred dance of the Zulu Nazarite Church

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 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.

Munster Gesangbuch (1677, trans Joseph August Seiss, 1873
