Mercy and Judgment

Representative Text

1 Aye ye who love your Maker’s name,
And on His truth rely,
Through all the earth His grace proclaim,
And raise His honors high.

2 All ye who make the Lord your trust,
His wondrous acts recite;
The good, the faithful and the just,
Your terror and delight.

3 Sing of His mercies, all ye saints,
Declare His judgments too;
Tell of His vengeance to his foes,
And all His love to you.

Benjamin Beddome was born at Henley-in Arden, Warwickshire, January 23, 1717. His father was a Baptist minister. He studied at various places, and began preaching in 1740. He was pastor of a Baptist society at Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire, until his death in 1795. In 1770, he received the degree of M.A. from the Baptist College in Providence, Rhode Island. He published several discourses and hymns. "His hymns, to the number of 830, were published in 1818, with a recommendation from Robert Hall." Montgomery speaks of him as a "writer worthy of honour both for the quantity and the quality of his hymns." --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872.… Go to person page >
