Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthron'd
"The Chiefest among ten thousand." - Songs of Sol. 5:10
VERSE 1
Majestic sweetness sits enthron'd
Upon the Saviour's brow;
His head with radiant glories crown'd,
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 heavenly train.
VERSE 3
He saw me plunged in deep distress,
He flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross,
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.
VERSE 5
To heaven, the place of His abode,
He brings my weary feet,
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joy 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!
