1 Lo, Jesus spreads abroad His wrath,
And vengeance sits upon His brow;
Now tremble, rulers of the earth,
And at His feet ye nations bow.

2 Now lift your suppliant hands; no more
Against unequal strength rebel;
Fierce and resistless is His power,
Which angels dread and devils feel.

3 With true repentance seek His face,
Love and adore th’ incarnate God;
Those sinners who refuse His grace
Shall sink beneath His iron rod.

4 Soon shall that dreadful day appear,
When He will fix your final doom;
Oh seek for mercy now with care,
Before that awful moment come.

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 >
