Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned by SamuelStennett(1727-1795)

Ma-jes-tic sweet-ness sits en-throned up-on the Sav-ior's brow;

   His head with rad-iant glo-ries crowned, His lips with grace o'er-flow.

No mor-tal can with Him com-pare, a-mong the sons of men;

   Fair-er is He than all the fair that fill the heaven-ly train.

He saw me plunged in deep dis-tress, He flew to my re-lief;

   For me He bore the shame-ful cross, and car-ried all my grief.

To Him I owe my life and breath, and all the joys I have;

   He makes me tri-umph o-ver death, and saves me from the grave.

To heaven, the place of His a-bode, He brings my wea-ry feet;

   Shows me the glo-ries of my God, and makes my joys com-plete.

Since from His boun-ty I re-ceive such proofs of love di-vine,

   Had I a thou-sand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be Thine.

Proposed Change to revel (by repetition) in His humanity:

Fair-er is He than all the fair that fill the heaven-ly train;

No mor-tal can with Him com-pare, a-mong the sons of men, a-mong the sons of men.
