Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Savior's brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o'erflow, 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, 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, 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, And saves me from the grave. Used With Tune: ORTONVILLE
