Charles Wesley was a famous English hymn writer, composing over 6,000 hymns in his lifetime. He was the father of [[Charles Wesley, Jr.]]. Like most hymnists, his works were frequently altered; he also altered earlier hymns. In the preface to the 1779 Collection of ''Hymns for the Use of the People called Methodists'' his brother, [[John Wesley|John]], railed against the reprinting of their hymns with no credit given. In addition to hymn writing, Charles and his brother founded the {{w|Methodism|Methodist}} movement. | |||

Like most hymnists, his works were frequently altered; he also altered earlier hymns. 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. In addition to hymn writing, Charles and his brother founded the Methodist movement.
