Representative Text

1 Although Jehovah changes not,
Nor e’er withdraws His love;
Yet if His precepts are forgot,
He will His saints reprove.

2 If they His holy statutes break,
He then assumes the rod;
And on their sins will vengeance take,
For He’s a righteous God.

3 But His compassions never cease
His promises are sure;
His mercy and His faithfulness,
From age to age endure.

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 >
