Who's the Fairest?

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

Who's the fairest of them all?

Not the girl with hateful heart,

Poison tongue like stinging dart.

Fairest she, who sheds forth love,

Gentle thoughts from God above.

Beauty blossoms in the face

When the heart is filled with grace.

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

Who's the fairest of them all?

Not the girl with sullen eye,

Pouting lips that fret, defy.

Fairest she, whose moods are bright,

Happy rainbows of delight.

Faces wreathed in joy declare

God's own beauty dwelling there.

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

Who's the fairest of them all?

Not the unchaste, brazen maid,

Flaunting, flippant, unafraid.

Fairest she, whose heart is pure,

Manner modest, glance demure.

Virtue crowns this girl a queen

For her life shines true and clean.

Mirror, mirror, tell me who

Can my countenance renew?

Jesus Christ, God's righteous Son,

Altogether Lovely One!

Fairest of Ten Thousand! Yes,

He can give you loveliness!
