Biography Charles Wesley was a famous English hymn writer, composing over 6000 hymns in his lifetime. He was the father of Samuel Wesley, Jr.. 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, railed against the reprinting of their hymns with no credit given. The text is here. In addition to hymn writ­ing, Charles and his brother, found­ed the move­ment which later be­came known as the Meth­od­ists.
