Charles Wesley (1707?1788) was the cofounder of Methodism and the
author of more than 9,000 hymns and sacred poems, including such
favorites as ???Hark! the Herald Angels Sing, ??? ???O for a
Thousand Tongues to Sing, ??? and ???Christ the Lord Is Risen
Today.??? John Tyson here traces the remarkable life of this
influential man from cradle to grave, using rare ? including
previously unpublished ? hymns, letters, and journal materials.
As the younger brother of John Wesley, Charles was a vital
partner in the Methodist revival. While often standing in the
shadow of his more famous brother, Charles Wesley was arguably the
founder of the Oxford Holy Club, and he actually experienced
evangelical conversion three days prior to John. In Assist Me to
Proclaim Tyson explores, among other things, behind-the-scenes
questions about the brothers??? sometimes-stormy relationship.
Notwithstanding all his accomplishments as an evangelist and
itinerant preacher, Charles is chiefly remembered for his startling
facility at writing hymns that show God at work in almost every
instance of life. His remarkable legacy endures around the world,
as hundreds of Charles Wesley hymns are still sung in churches
everywhere today.
Assist Me to Proclaim draws a picture of a man whose fidelity to
both the Church of England and the original vision of Methodism
energized his remarkable abilities as a revivalist and hymn writer.
Readers also get a glimpse into Wesley??'s heart and mind through
the window of his hymn texts. This is a biography that any student
of church history or hymnody will welcome.
