1 Emerging from yon silent grave,
What wondrous person do I see?
It is Immanuel, strong to save,
Who loved, and lived, and died for me.

2 I see Him mount the azure skies,
And seated on His royal throne,
Whence He looks down with pitying eyes,
And makes my cares and griefs His own.

3 Oh could I in a clearer light,
Behold the beauties of His face,
Divinely sweet, divinely bright,
How would I fly to His embrace!

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 >
