Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
|
|
| 1. | Majestic sweetness sits enthroned |
| | Upon the Savior's brow; |
| | His head with radian glories crowned, |
| | His lips with grace o'er flow. |
| 2. | No mortal can with Him compare |
| | Among the sons of men; |
| | Fairer is He than all the fair |
| | That fill the heavenly train. |
| 3. | To Him I owe my life and breath, |
| | And all the joys I have; |
| | He makes me triumph over death, |
| | And saves me from the grave. |
| 4. | To God, the Father, my abode, |
| | He brings my weary feet; |
| | Shows me, the glories, of my God, |
| | And makes my joys complete. |
| 5. | Since from His bounty I receive |
| | Such proofs of love divine, |
| | Had I a thousand hearts to give, |
| | Lord, they should all be Thine. |
