Our Mission Statement

The Bedford Anthem

A long, long time ago, one of our Corps Officers (Pastors) arranged the words of the song 'While here before thy cross I keel,' found in the new Salvation Army Songbook (2015) number 800.  The arrangement and the words have struck a very deep cord in the life of the church and the song quickly became known as "The Bedford Anthem". In this arrangement the words of the second verse are used as the chorus -
                          "Deepen in me thy work of grace,
                           Teach me to do thy Holy will,
                            Help me to live a spotless life,
                            And all thy Holy laws fulfil."
Let this prayer also be your prayer that you will allow the deepening of God's grace in your life.  Listen as the congregation sing this prayer of dedication and let it also be your prayer.
