Benjamin Beddome

Benjamin Beddome (23 January 1717 – 3 September 1795) was an English Particular Baptist minister and hymn writer.

[2] He studied initially under Bernard Foskett at the Baptist college in Bristol, where he became friends with John Ash.

John Rippon commented that, "though his voice was low, his delivery was forcible and demanded attention."

Beddome allowed 13 of his hymms to be included in the Bristol Baptist Collection of Ash & Evans, and 36 in Rippon's Selection.

Robert Hall wrote: The man of taste will be gratified with the beauty and original turns of thought which many of them exhibit, while the experimental Christian will often perceive the most secret movements of his soul strikingly delineated, and sentiments portrayed which will find their echo in every heart.In 1752, Beddome wrote A Scriptural Exposition of the Baptist Catechism, by Way of Question and Answer, which was reprinted in 1776.
