Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Born: December 28, 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 work were frequently altered. In the preface to one of his hymnals, he 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 his brother John founded the Methodist Church.
