Charles Wesley, an English Anglican cleric, was a key figure in the Methodist movement. He was a highly productive hymnwriter, composing over 6,500 hymns during his lifetime. Some of his notable works include “And Can It Be”, “O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing”, and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”. Wesley founded the “Holy Club” at Oxford University and later traveled extensively with his brother John Wesley to spread the Methodist revival through preaching and hymn-singing. Despite occasional disagreements with John, Charles remained dedicated to his ministry within the Church of England.
