1 Exalt the eternal Son,
Ye saints who know His name,
The wise, the just, the holy One,
Unchangeably the same.

2 He lives, He ever lives,
To plead for us above;
His care preserves, His power protects,
The objects of His love.

3 And soon will He descend,
From His celestial throne,
The world to judge in righteousness,
And make His vengeance known.

4 Then you shall see His face,
Not clouded as before,
But all unveiled, serenely bright,
And wonder and adore.

Author: Benjamin Beddome

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 >
