Christ Incomparable. (590) Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Savior's brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, 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 heavenly 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. 4 To heaven, the place of his abode, He brings my weary feet; Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joys complete. Samuel Stennett, 1787.
