Charles Wesley was the younger brother of John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement of Protestantism, but he was also a leader of the Methodist movement in his own right. He was born on 18 December 1707, in Epworth, Lincolnshire, England. Whilst studying at Christ Church College, Oxford, Wesley formed the "Oxford Methodist" group among his fellow students in 1729, a group which his brother later joined. However, Charles did not wish to break away from the Church of England into which he and his brother were both ordained.
Charles Wesley is best known for writing up to six thousand popular and well-loved hymns, including Amazing Love; And Can It Be?; Hark, The Herald Angels Sing; Christ the Lord Is Risen Today; Love Divine, All Loves Excelling; and O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing.
Charles Wesley's name is listed in the Gospel Music Hall of Fame for the enduring nature of his hymns. He died on 29 March 1788.
