Charles Wesley is unquestionably one of the most significant sacred poets in English language history. He wrote over 9,000 sacred poems and hymns, many of which still survive in hymnbooks used today. They are a unique blending of head and heart and filled with passion. This is why his hymns have been translated into scores of languages and are sung today from the far reaches of Russian Siberia and Asia, to Africa, Europe, North and South America, the Caribbean region, and the Pacific islands.
