Representative Text

1 The trum­pet’s so­­lemn sound,
The lightn­ings spread abroad,
The op­en­ing skies, the shak­ing ground,
Proclaim a com­ing God.

2 Behold, the Judge at hand,
With ma­jes­ty and pow­er;
The tribes of men be­fore Him stand,
Some trem­ble, some adore.

3 Each act­ion, word and thought,
Now stripped of all dis­guise,
To the im­par­tial test is brought,
Exposed be­fore His eyes.

4 Now cause­less fears su­bside,
False hopes no more be­guile,
Whilst His uner­ring hands di­vide
The pre­cious from the vile.

5 The one He calls by name,
And seats them near His throne;
The oth­er fills with grief and shame,
And dooms to woes un­known.

6 Then be it all my care,
Each hour to watch and pray;
And oh may so­ver­eign grace pre­pare
For that tre­men­dous day!

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 >
