1 Majestic sweetness sits enthron’d
Upon the Saviour's brow;
His head with radiant glories crown’d,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with Him compare
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair
Who fill the heav'nly train.
4 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.
5 To heav'n, the place of His abode,
He brings my weary feet,
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete.
6 Since from Thy bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine.
