Astonished and distressed
General information
This is an hymn by Benjamin Beddome, published first in John Rippon's Selection, 1787. Another version, apparently authentic, appears in the posthumous collection of his works (R. Hall, 1818). Sometimes attributed in error to Augustus Toplady, which "error arose out of the fact that Walter Row included it in his unsatisfactory edition of Toplady's Works" (John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, 1907). Meter is 66. 86 (S.M.).
