Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, And looks to God alone; Laughs at impossibilities, And cries it shall be done.

Charles Wesley

Charles Wesley (1707–1788) war ein englischer anglikanischer Geistlicher, Evangelist und Mitbegründer der methodistischen Bewegung. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch über sechstausend Kirchenlieder, mit denen er theologische Kerngedanken wie die universale Gnade Gottes und die persönliche Erlösung in Christus dichterisch gestaltete. Für Bibelleser heute sind seine Texte weiterhin präsent, da sie biblische Lehren und Heilsgewissheit in weltweit gesungene Gesangbuchklassiker und Gebete übersetzen.
