Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned

Words: Samuel Stennett · Music: Hugh Wilson, Robert A. Smith · 1782

Verse 1
Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
upon the Savior's brow;
his head with radiant glories crowned,
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.

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.

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.

Verse 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.
