1 Jesus, descend with glory crowned,
Make bare Thy mighty arm;
Let the archangel’s trumpet sound
The dread and loud alarm.

2 Let the rebellious race appear
Before Thine awful seat,
There the decisive sentence hear,
Thy just displeasure meet.

3 See the whole globe of earth on fire,
And towns and forests blaze,
While those who made them their desire,
Are filled with wild amaze.

4 Let sinners now to mountains pray,
To rocks for shelter fly;
Mountains will shake as well as they,
The rocks in fragments lie.

5 But saints the scene with calmness view,
Now their redemption’s near;
Their Judge is their Redeemer too,
Whose love forbids their fear.

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 >
