1 Lift up your heads, ye saints, and see,
The wished-for day is come;
Jesus descends in majesty,
To lead His followers home.

2 His chariot wheels no more delay,
Rejoice, ye chosen ones;
He comes to call His saints away,
And bring from far His sons.

3 He is your Savior and your King,
Shout then with cheerful voice;
To Him your loud hosannas sing,
Who bids your hearts rejoice.

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 >
