Representative Text

1 All round the globe does Sa­tan trace,
Nor keeps a cer­tain road;
Sworn foe to all the hu­man race,
And ene­my to God.

2 He forms his plots and lays them deep,
Th’unwary to de­coy;
Lo, now he flies, and now he creeps,
To ruin and de­stroy.

3 Alluring baits does he pre­sent,
To draw the soul to sin;
Excites to wrath and dis­con­tent,
Works ev­ery lust with­in.

4 Let rich and poor, and young and old,
Of Sa­tan’s wiles be­ware;
He to pre­sump­tion tempts the bold,
The ti­mid to des­pair.

5 He wan­ders still from place to place,
And waits th’un­guard­ed hour,
The tru­ly pi­ous to dis­tress,
The wick­ed to devour.

6 But thanks to our al­migh­ty king,
Who does his pow­er re­strain;
If Je­sus His as­sist­ance bring,
The temp­ter tempts in vain.

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 >
