portrait("Charles Wesley (1707-1788)","w/e/wesley_c",224,297)
Born: December 18, 1707, Epworth, Lincolnshire, England.
Died: March 29, 1788, London, England.
Buried: Marylebone Parish Church, London.
Charles Wesley wrote over 6,000 hymns. Like most hymnists, his works were frequently altered. In the preface to the 1779 Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People called Methodists, his brother John wrote:
I beg leave to mention a thought which has been long upon my mind, and which I should long ago have inserted in the public papers, had I not been unwilling to stir up a nest of hornets. Many gentlemen have done my brother and me (though without naming us) the honour to reprint many of our hymns. Now they are perfectly welcome to do so, provided they print them just as they are. But I desire they would not attempt to mend them, for they are really not able. None of them is able to mend either the sense or the verse. Therefore, I must beg of them these two favours: either to let them stand just as they are, to take things for better or worse, or to add the true reading in the margin, or at the bottom of the page, that we may no longer be accountable either for the nonsense or for the doggerel of other men.
In addition to hymn writing, Charles and John founded the movement which became the Methodist denomination.

Lyrics
Ah! Whither Should I Go?
All Glory to God
All Glory to God in the Sky
All Glory to Our Gracious Lord
All Wise, All Good, Almighty Lord
All Praise to Him Who Dwells in Bliss
All Praise to Our Redeeming Lord
All Ye That Pass By
All Ye That Seek the Lord Who Died
Ambassadors of God
And Am I Only Born to Die?
And Are We Yet Alive?
And Can I Yet Delay?
And Can It Be That I Should Gain?
And Let Our Bodies Part
And Let This Feeble Body Fail
And Must I Be to Judgment Brought
Angels Your March Oppose
Arise, My Soul, Arise
Arm of the Lord, Awake, Awake!
Author of Faith, Eternal Word
Author of Faith, We Seek Thy Face
Awake, Jerusalem, Awake!
Away with Our Fears!
Away with Our Sorrow and Fear
Be Merciful, O God, to Me
My Heart Is Fixed, O God
Because Thou Hast Said
Behold, How Good a Thing
Behold the Servant of the Lord
Being of Beings
Blest Be Our Everlasting Lord
Blest Be the Dear Uniting Love
Blow Ye the Trumpet, Blow
Break Forth into Praise
Brethren in Christ, and Well Beloved
By Faith We Find the Place Above
Captain of Israel’s Host
Celebrate Immanuel’s Name
Center of Our Hopes Thou Art
Charge to Keep I Have, A

Let Saints on Earth in Concert Sing
Come, Let Us Join with One Accord
Let the World Their Virtue Boast
Let Us Plead for Faith Alone
Lift Your Heads
Lift Up Your Hearts to Things Above
Light of Those Whose Dreary Dwelling
Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending
Lord, I Believe a Rest Remains
Lord, I Believe Thy Work of Grace
O Joyful Sound of Gospel Grace
Lord, in the Strength of Grace
Lord of the Harvest, Hear
Lord, Whom Winds and Waves Obey
Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Lovers of Pleasure More Than God
Meet and Right It Is to Sing
Messiah, Prince of Peace
My God, I Am Thine
My God, I Know, I Feel Thee Mine
My Heart Is Full of Christ
My Soul, Inspired with Sacred Love
None Is Like Jerushun’s God

O Thou Eternal Victim Slain
O Thou, Before the World Began
O Thou, Our Husband, Brother, Friend
O Thou, Our Savior, Brother, Friend
O Thou Who at Thy Creature’s Bar
Lord of the Church, We Humbly Pray
Servants of Christ, His Truth Who Know
Thou Jesus, Thou My Breast Inspire
Thy Power and Saving Truth to Show
O Thou Who Camest from Above
O Thou, Whom All Thy Saints Adore
O Thou Whose Offering on the Tree
O What Shall I Do, My Savior to Praise
Object of All Our Knowledge Here
Omnipotent Lord, My Savior and King
Our Earth We Now Lament to See
Our Friendship Sanctify and Guide
Our Lord Is Risen from the Dead
Peace, Doubting Heart!
Praise the Lord Who Reigns Above
Prisoners of Hope, Arise
Rejoice for a Brother Deceased
Weep Not for a Brother Deceased
Rejoice, the Lord Is King
Righteous God! Whose Vengeful Phials
Rise All Who Seek the Crucified
Savior, and Can It Be
Savior, Prince of Israel’s Race
Savior, Whom Our Hearts Adore
See How Great a Flame Aspires
See, Jesus, Thy Disciples See
See, Sinners, in the Gospel Glass
Shepherd Divine, Our Wants Relieve
Sing to the Great Jehovah’s Praise
Sing, Ye Ransomed Nations, Sing
Sinners, Believe the Gospel Word
Sinners, Dismiss Your Fear
Sinners, Rejoice: Your Peace Is Made
Sinners, Obey the Gospel Word
Sinners, Turn: Why Will You Die?
Soldiers of Christ, Arise
Son of the Carpenter, Receive
Servant of All, to Toil for Man
Spirit of Faith, Come Down
Stand the Omnipotent Decree
Stay, Thou Insulted Spirit, Stay
Surrounded by a Host of Foes
Talk with Us, Lord
Terrible Thought! Shall I Alone
Thou Hidden Source of Calm Repose
This Is Thy Will, I Know
Thou God of Glorious Majesty
Thou God of Truth and Love
Thou Great Mysterious God Unknown
Thou Judge of Quick and Dead
Thou Son of God, Whose Flaming Eyes
Thou, the Great, Eternal God
Thousand Oracles Divine, A
Thy Ceaseless, Unexhausted Love
Thy Faithfulness, Lord, Each Moment We Find
’Tis Finished! The Messiah Dies
To Us a Child of Royal Birth
Try Us, O God
Victim Divine, Thy Grace We Claim
Watched by the World’s Malignant Eye
Weary of Wandering from My God
Weary Souls That Wander Wide
What Am I, O Thou Glorious God!
What Is Our Calling’s Glorious Hope?
What Shall I Do, My God to Love
What Shall I Render to My God
When Quiet in My House I Sit
Where Is the Holy Heav’n-Born Child?
Where Shall My Wondering Soul Begin?
Wherewith, O Lord, Shall I Draw Near?
Whether the Word Be Preached or Read
What Are These Arrayed in White?
Who Are These Arrayed in White?
Who in the Lord Confide
Whom Jesu’s Blood Doth Sanctify
With Glorious Clouds Encompassed Round
With Solemn Faith We Offer Up
Woe to the Men on Earth Who Dwell
Worship, and Thanks, and Blessing
Would Jesus Have the Sinner Die?
Ye Heavenly Choir
Ye Men of Israel, Hear
Ye Neighbors and Friends of Jesus
Ye Ransomed Sinners, Hear
Ye Servants of God
Ye Simple Men of Hearts Sincere
Ye That Pass By, Behold the Man
Ye Thirsty for God
Ye Virgin Souls, Arise
Ye Waiting Souls, Arise
Young Men and Maidens, Raise
