Majestic sweetness sits enthroned

by Samuel Stennett

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 159 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Saviour’s brow; His head with radiant light is crowned, His lips with grace o’erflow, 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 That fill the heav’nly train, That 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, 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, He saves me from the grave, He saves me from the grave.

Verse 5

To Heaven, the place of His abode, He brings my weary feet; Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joys complete, And makes my joys complete.

Verse 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, Lord, they should all be Thine.
