1 Let unbelievers, void of grace,
Tremble at death’s alarms;
Fearless we meet its cold embrace,
With Jesus in our arms.

2 What tho’ the enemy should spread
His terrors all abroad;
Shall that the object be of dread,
Which brings us home to God.

3 Dismissed from clay, the spirit flies,
And near its Savior shines;
The leprous house demolished lies,
And dust our dust refines.

4 Death, death is yours, ye saints proclaim
The triumphs of your Lord;
Jesus! oh may the sacred name,
Be loved, revered, adored!

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 >
