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.
