 1 

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned

Upon the Savior's brow;

His head with radiant glories crowned,

His lips with grace o'er flow.

 
 2 

No mortal can with Him compare

Among the sons of men;

Fairer is He than all the fair

That 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 

To God, the Father, my abode,

He brings my weary feet;

Shows me the glories of my God,

And makes my joys complete.

 
 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.
