Sheet music
- 1Majestic sweetness sits enthronedUpon the Savior’s brow;His head with radiant glories crowned,His lips with grace o’erflow.No mortal can with Him compareAmong the sons of men;Fairer is He than all the fairWho fill the heav’nly train.
- 2He saw me plunged in deep distress,And flew to my relief;For me He bore the shameful cross,And carried all my grief.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.
- 3Since from Thy bounty I receiveSuch proofs of love divine,Had I a thousand hearts to give,Lord, they should all be Thine.
