Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: Laudes Domini #150 (1890) First Line: Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Lyrics: 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
That fill the heavenly train.
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
He flew to my relief;
For me he bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief.
4 To 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.
5 To heaven, the place of his abode,
He brings my weary feet;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joy complete.
6 Since from his bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord! they should all be thine. Topics: Life and Character; Christ Character of; Christ Life of; Christ Character of; Christ Life of Languages: English Tune Title: ORTONVILLE
