The
above
hymn
was
published
in
the
second
series
of
Charles
Wesley's
"
Funeral
Hymns."
It
originally
had
nine
stanzas.
Mr.
Wesley
was
born
in
1708
and
died
in
1788.
He
originally
belonged
to
the
Church
of
England,
but
with
his
brother
John,
in
connection
with
others,
established
the
English
Methodist
Church.
This
is
one
of
his
standard
hymns
among
thousands
he
composed.
See

Mr.
Wesley
composed
over
6,000
valuable
hymns.
He
was
one
of
the
founders
of
Methodism,
which
has
proven
to
be
one
of
the
greatest
religious
denominations.
