Majestic sweetness sits enthroned

Samuel Stennett (1787) • English

Verse 1

Majestic 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.

Verse 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, who fill the heav'nly train.

Verse 3

He saw me plunged in deep distress, and flew to my relief; for me He bore the shameful cross, and carried all my grief, and carried all my grief.

Verse 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, and saves me from the grave.
