185. Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned

1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Saviour's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
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.

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 Since from Thy beauty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine.
