1 Jesus, Thy name declares
Thy work and Thy delight;
To numerous sick Thou gavest health
And to the blind their sight.

2 The man with withered hand
Implored relief from Thee;
That hand made whole, was stretchèd forth
In thankfulness to Thee.

3 The lame are made to walk,
The deaf and dumb to speak;
The graves Thy high command obey,
And lo, the dead awake!

4 The same Thy power and grace,
My wants and griefs the same;
Speak, Lord, and I shall be restored,
Thy wonders to proclaim.

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 >
