<p>Cennick had planned a career as a surveyor, but after meeting the Wesleys, he joined them in their work. In 1840, he became a teacher at Kingswood, England, on the recommendation of John Wesley. Later, he joined the Moravians. He spent much of his time preaching in Germany. Cennick&#8217;s works include:
<ul>
<li><em>Sacred Hymns, for the Children of God in the Days of Their Pilgrimage</em>, 1741</li>
<li><em>Sacred Hymns for the Use of Religious Societies</em>, 1743</li>
<li><em>A Collection of Sacred Hymns</em>, 1749</li>
<li><em>Hymns to the Honour of Jesus Christ, Composed for Such Little Children as Desire to Be Saved</em>, 1754</li>
</ul>
<p>Additional works appeared posthumously in J. Swertner&#8217;s <em>Moravian Hymn Book</em>, 1789.</p>
