Christ in Song 361
Majestic Sweetness
1Majestic sweetness sits enthron'd Upon the Saviour's brow;
His head with radiant light is crown'd,
His lips with grace o'erflow,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2No mortal can with Him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair That fill the heav'nly train,
That fill the heav'nly train.
3He saw me plung'd in deep distress,
He flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief,
And carried all my grief.
4To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
He saves me from the grave,
He saves me from the grave.
5To heav'n, the place of His abode,
He brings my weary feet;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joy complete,
And makes my joy complete.
6Since from His bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine,
Lord, they should all be Thine.
