1 How great the wisdom, pow'r and grace
which in redemption shine!
The heav'nly host with joy confess
the work is all divine,
the work is all divine,
the work is all divine.

2 Before His feet they cast their crowns-
those crowns which Jesus gave-
And with ten thousand thousand tongues
proclaim His pow'r to save,
proclaim His pow'r to save,
proclaim His pow'r to save.

3 They tell the triumphs of His cross,
the sufferings which He bore;
How low He stooped, how high He rose;
and rose to stoop no more,
and rose to stoop no more,
and rose to stoop no more.

4 O let them still their voices raise,
and still their songs renew; Salvation well deserves
the praise of men and angels, too, of men and angels too, of men
and angels, too.

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 >

Mason published a duple-meter version in his Modern Psalmist (1839) but changed it to triple meter in his later publications. Mason used (often obscure) biblical names for his tune titles; Azmon, a city south of C…
