- 1Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
- Upon the Savior's brow;
- His head with radiant glories crowned,
- His lips with grace o'erflow.
- 2No mortal can with Him compare,
- Among the sons of men;
- Fairer is He than all the fair
- That fill the heavenly train.
- 3He saw me plunged in deep distress,
- He flew to my relief;
- For me He bore the shameful cross,
- And carried all my grief.
- 4To 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.
- 5To heaven, the place of His abode,
- He brings my weary feet;
- Shows me the glories of my God,
- And makes my joy complete.
- 6Since from His bounty I receive
- Such proofs of love divine,
- Had I a thousand hearts to give,
- Lord, they should all be Thine.
