Hymn
Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned
ORTONVILLE · C.M. · words Samuel Stennett · music Thomas Hastings
1.Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior'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.He saw me plunged in deep distress
And 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
And saves me from the grave.
5.Since from His bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine.
