John Kent (December 1766 – 15 November 1843) was an English Calvinist Baptist writer of hymns.

Biography

Kent was born of poor, religious parents in Devonshire, and was apprenticed to his father, a shipwright.[1] He began to write verse in his youth, and worked hard to educate himself despite limited opportunities.[2] His hymns are first known to have been published in 1799 in Samuel Reece's A Selection of Evangelical Hymns,[3] compiled for the Barrack-Street Baptist congregation near Plymouth Dockyard, where he and his father worked.[2] The first collection composed entirely of John Kent's hymns was his Original Gospel Hymns, published in 1803; though he gained a reputation as a hymnist, he continued as a shipbuilder, writing hymns as his work allowed.[2] His collection passed through ten editions between 1803 and 1861, being expanded with new material as it became available.[3] Kent became blind by 60 years of age, and mostly ceased authoring new hymns until his death seventeen years later in 1843.[2] His last words were "I am accepted."[4]

Character of his works

The simplicity and force of Kent's hymns' expression of Calvinism has limited their adoption outside a narrow segment of Christian churches, but they have been fairly broadly employed in various Predestinarian Baptist churches, with 51 of them contained in William Gadsby's A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship and twelve in Charles Spurgeon's Our Own Hymn Book.[2] His most frequently-printed hymns include "What Cheering Words Are These", "O Thou, Before Whose Gracious Throne", "On Zion's Glorious Summit Stood", and "Where Two or Three Together Meet".[3]
