Today is a special day! Charles Wesley was born on this day 314 years ago on 18 December 1707.
Charles is regarded today as the world’s greatest hymn writer and, even after over two hundred years, 450 of his hymns are still in use around the globe. His hymns are rooted in his personal experience and he was not afraid to voice all our human emotions - the joys and the sorrows, the hopes and the fears, the certainties and the doubts.
