John+Wesley

=John Wesley (1703 - 1791)=

Nearly all of the Wesleyan hymns, even those found in volumes issued jointly by the two brothers, are commonly accredited to [|Charles Wesley]. As, however, John Wesley states that he and his brother agreed among themselves not to distinguish their hymns, it cannot be definitely known that John Wesley is not himself the author of some of the hymns accredited to Charles Wesley. He is known to be the author of numerous translations from the German, and these are among the most successful translations and finest hymns in the entire range of English hymnology, being marked by deep spirituality and lofty devotional thought. His translations were the result in part of a visit to the Moravian settlement at Herrnhut, in Germany.
