Great God, The Terrors Of Thy Wrath
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16118 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Great God, the terrors of Thy wrath Lyrics:
1 Great God, the terrors of Thy wrath,
What mortal tongue can tell?
A fiery stream comes issuing forth,
And lights the flames of hell.
2 No mitigation can it know,
Nor ever have an end;
Its greatness and duration, too,
All finite thought transcend.
3 But Thou, oh Lord, hast formed a plan,
Replete with wondrous grace.
To raise the fallen creature, man,
To perfect happiness.
4 Through the atonement of my Lord,
All sin may be forgiv’n;
‘Tis He removes the flaming sword,
Which barred the way to Heaven.
5 Should all the pow’rs of earth and hell
Their force against me join,
His cross will all my fears dispel,
And fill with peace divine.

When God Descends, A Streaming Fire
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16121 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When God descends, a streaming fire Lyrics:
1 When God descends, a streaming fire
Attends Him through the sky;
Thick clouds compose His dark attire,
And vivid lightnings fly.
2 Impervious wreaths of smoke surround,
And hide His awful seat;
Incessant thunders roar around,
Or murmur at His feet.
3 ’Twas thus on Sinai’s lofty hill,
Jehovah once appeared;
The trumpet loud proclaimed His will,
And trembling Israel heard.
4 They trembling heard, but straight forgot
The terrors of the day;
They scarcely left the awful spot,
Before they went astray.
5 Their solemn vows they soon revoke,
False and ungrateful prove;
Forget the tempest, fire and smoke,
Their maker’s wrath and love.
6 What Sinai’s terrors ne’er could do,
That Sion’s God performs;
’Tis He creates our hearts anew,
And strengthens feeble worms.
7 He gently leads our wandering souls
In paths of righteousness;
And all our passions He controls,
By His all-powerful grace.
8 From Sinai we to Sion fly,
The city of our God;
Unawed and fearless we draw nigh,
And make it our abode.

The Word Of Truth's A Spacious Field
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16123 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The word of truth’s a spacious field Lyrics:
1 The word of truth’s a spacious field,
Adorned with fragrant flowers;
A golden mine, where we may search,
And make the treasure ours.
2 Here streams of milk and honey flow,
Diwinely rich and free;
Here Christ unveils His lovely face,
And bids us come and see.
3 Here’s living water, living bread,
And more than angels’ fare;
Millions of souls have been supplied,
And yet there’s much to spare.
4 Here, as upon the tree of life,
Fruits grow of various kind;
And as in famed Bethesda’s pool,
We help and healing find.
5 Come then, my soul, these truths attend,
With humble hope and fear;
Here search for Christ, the pearl of price,
And thou shalt find Him here.
6 Then widely spread His worth and fame,
Let heathens hear His voice;
Oh send His word to every shore,
And bid the earth rejoice.

Dear Lord, Thy Word Of Truth Affords
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16124 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Dear Lord, Thy word of truth affords Lyrics:
1 Dear Lord, Thy word of truth affords
A balm for every wound;
Hence all our hopes of bliss arise,
And here our peace is found.
2 The tree of life, beneath whose shade
The weary pilgrim sits;
And there regaling on its fruits,
With sweet refreshment meets.
3 The sure foundation of our faith,
And source of all our joy,
May it our warmest thoughts engage,
Our inmost souls employ.
4 But not on us alone bestow,
These records of Thy love,
Let distant lands Thy truth receive,
And all its blessings prove.

The Whole Creation Was Undone
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16158 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The whole creation was undone Lyrics:
1 The whole creation was undone,
The world in ruins lay,
When God sent forth His only Son
To suffer and obey.
2 Jesus, with pity moved, forsakes
The glories of His throne,
Redeems the souls He loved, and makes
His Father’s counsels known.
3 The death He died, but quickly rose
Majestic from the grave;
And now He triumphs o’er His foes,
With sovereign power to save.
4 Freely He gives His promised grace,
To make our nature clean;
And clothes us with His righteousness,
Till not a spot is seen.
5 His mighty arm shall be our trust,
His hand our wants supply;
He‘ll animate our sleeping dust,
And raise it up on high.
6 Thy praises, oh Immanuel,
Our lips shall spread abroad;
And in harmonious accents tell
The wonders of our God.

How Glorious Is Our Heavenly King
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16215 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How glorious is our heav’nly king Lyrics:
1 How glorious is our heav’nly king,
Who reigns above the sky!
How shall a child presume to sing
His awful majesty?
2 How great His pow’r is, none can tell,
Nor think how large His grace;
Not men below, nor saints who dwell,
On high, before His face.
3 Not angels, who stand round the Lord,
Can search His secret will;
But they perform His heav’nly word,
And sing His praises still.
4 Then let me join this holy train,
And my first offerings bring;
Th’eternal God will not disdain
To hear an infant sing.
5 My heart resolves, my tongue obeys,
And angels will rejoice
To hear their mighty maker’s praise
Sound from a feeble voice.

All Round The Globe Does Satan Trace
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16238 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: All round the globe does Satan trace Lyrics:
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.

Satan, By Artifice And Fraud
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16240 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Satan, by artifice and fraud Lyrics:
1 Satan, by artifice and fraud,
Unwary souls decoys;
Draws the affections off from God,
Allures, and then destroys.
2 With subtle art he spreads the net,
Ye saints, in time beware;
Be circumspect, and guard your feet
Against the dangerous snare.
3 Though he assumes an angel’s face,
As oftentimes he will;
Yet swiftly flee this foe to peace,
For he is Satan still.
4 To God approach by fervent prayer,
And His assistance crave;
Then will He make your souls His care,
Who mighty is to save.

Unstable Souls, The Slaves Of Sense
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16244 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1 Unstable souls, the slaves of sense,
The tempter oft beguiles,
Approaching with some fair pretense,
He veils his artful wiles.
2 Sometimes he tempts us to presume,
And then to deep despair;
Tells us, in Christ there is no room,
No refuge for us there.
3 To youth he says, "’Tis yet too soon,
A dying prayer will do";
To hoary age, "The time is gone,
To form the life anew."
4 When carnal objects we pursue,
He strews them in our way,
Enticing baits presents to view,
And makes us soon his prey.
5 Now he assumes a form divine,
The simple to allure,
Extols their duties with design,
Their ruin to secure.
6 A God all mercy or all wrath,
He’ll place before our view,
Severe to mark the least offense,
Or careless what we do.
7 Great God, his various schemes confound,
Bind up this haughty foe;
Then shall our tongues Thy praise resound,
Our hearts with joy o’erflow.

Oh What Amazing Horrors Seize
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16256 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Oh what amazing horrors seize Lyrics:
1 Oh what amazing horrors seize
The sinner at his death!
With what reluctance and despair,
He yields his parting breath.
2 He gives a groan, and straight is gone
Where woeful spirits dwell;
A victim to eternal wrath,
The quenchless flames of hell.
3 Some drops of this tremendous storm
Might fall at times before;
But now it bursts upon his head,
In one relentless shower.
4 Oh may I, ere it be too late,
To Jesus’ cross repair;
From thence derive a cheering hope,
And find salvation there.
5 Supported by His powerful grace
And sprinkled with His blood,
I’ll rest secure from every ill,
Nor dread an angry God.
