For this song, cut out 10 of the following mirror from heavy cardstock:
Inside each mirror, have the pictures that go with each verse and the chorus. Have the children helping you hold up the mirrors in front of the group as you sing.
Variations can include mixing up the mirrors and having the children put them in the right order, turning different mirrors around for memorization skills and hollowing out the centers of other mirrors so the children can have their faces showing from the back as they sing.
Verse 1:
(Point to the pictures as you sing about them...)
Fair is the sunshine, Fairer the moonlight, and all the stars in heav'n above;
(Place a picture of the Savior in the center of the mirror. If you are using a picture from the library, hollow out the center of the mirror and tape the picture in place behind the cut out.)
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
And brings to all the world his love.
CHORUS:
Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
HONOR
PRAISE
GLORY
Thee I honor, praise and give glory,
PRAISE
GLORY
Give praise and glory evermore! Evermore!
VERSE 2:
Fair are the meadows, Fairer the woodlands,
Robed in the flowers of blooming spring;
(Place a picture of the Savior in the center of the mirror. If you are using a picture from the library, hollow out the center of the mirror and tape the picture in place behind the cut out.)
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
He makes the sorrowing spirit sing.
