This hymn has a unique tune

 
 1 

Thou art fairer than the morning,

O my Savior and my King!

Of Thy grandeur and Thy beauty,

How my soul delights to sing.

 

Thou art fairer than the morning,

Thou art brighter, brighter than the day;

At the glory of Thy presence

Clouds and darkness flee away.

 
 2 

Clothed in light as with a garment,

Crowned with majesty divine,

Lo, the scepter of dominion

Now and ever, Lord, is Thine.

 

Thou art fairer than the morning,

Thou art brighter, brighter than the day;

At the glory of Thy presence

Clouds and darkness flee away.

 
 3 

O the greatness of Thy mercy,

And the richness of Thy grace!

O the love that in Thy kingdom

Is preparing me a place!

 

Thou art fairer than the morning,

Thou art brighter, brighter than the day;

At the glory of Thy presence

Clouds and darkness flee away.

 
 4 

When at last I reach the kingdom,

Win the crown, the battle o'er,

With ten thousand times ten thousand

I shall sing forevermore.

 

Thou art fairer than the morning,

Thou art brighter, brighter than the day;

At the glory of Thy presence

Clouds and darkness flee away.
