THE PRINCE OF LOVELINESS.

[The following lines are too sweet, too lovely to be lost, or hid from the saints. C. M.]
Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Saviour’s brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o’erflow.
No mortal can with him compare Among the sons of men; Fairer is he than all the fair Who fill the heavenly train.
He 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.
Since from his bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be thine.
