Assist Me to Proclaim: the Life and Hymns Of Charles Wesley

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 including previously unpublished ?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.
