The
above
hymn
was
first
published
in
1742.
Some
changes
in
the
words
have
been
made.
It
originally
had
12
stanzas.
John
Cennick
also
composed
other
hymns,
one
of
them
being,
"Jesus,
my
All
to
Heaven
is
Gone."
He
was
born
in
1718
and
died
in
1755;
was
a
Methodist
minister.
The
tune
"Marcellas"
is
an
old
melody,
dating
far
back
into
the
early
parts
of
the
Nineteenth
Century.
So
far
as
we
have
been
able
to
find,
in
the
last
sixty
years
or
more
it
has
been
attached
to
John
Cennick,
composed
1742,
"Children
of
the
Heavenly
King,"
but
none
of
the
books
give
the
author's
name
of
this
tune.
