Joseph Stennett (1663-1713) Born: 1663, Abingdon, Berkshire, England.

Died: July 11, 1713, at the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. Morton, in Knaphill, Buckinghamshire, England. He had gone there on his doctor’s advice, to recover from ill health. Apparently the advice didn’t help much.

Stennett (grandfather of hymnist Samuel Stennett) attended the Grammar School at Wallingford, then moved to London at age 22. He worked several years there as a tutor. In 1668, he married a daughter of George Guill, a French Protestant refugee. The next year, he became the preacher at the Baptist Sabbatarian congregation then meeting in Devonshire Square, London (afterwards in Pinners’ Hall). He became the pastor there in 1690, and served until his death. His works include:

  • Hymns in Commemoration of the Sufferings of our Blessed Saviour Jesus Christ, Compos’d for the Celebration of His Holy Supper, 1697
  • A poetical Version of Solomon’s Song of Songs, 1697 (second edition, 1703; third edition, 1769)
  • Hymns Composed for the Celebration of the Holy Ordinance of Baptism, 1712 (second edition, 1722)

Stennett also translated Dacier’s Plato and other works from the French, and published several sermons preached on the days of National Thanksgiving and other public occasions. His works were collected after his death and published in 1732 in four volumes.
