LyicsMajestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
No mortal can with him compare
Among the songs of men;
Fairer is he than all the fair
Who fill the heavenly train,
Who fill the heavenly train.
He saw me plunged in deep distress
And few to my relief;
For me he bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief,
And carried all my grief.
To him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have!
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me fromt he grave,
And saves me from the grave.
To heaven, the place of his abode,
He brings my weary feet;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete,
And makes my joys complete.
Since from thy 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.
