The Collected Poems of John and Charles Wesley

John Wesley and his brother Charles were two of the great Methodist leaders of the 18th century. Their poems were collected by G. Osborn in 1869 and published in a set of thirteen volumes. This set, “The Collected Poems of John and Charles Wesley”, is now almost impossible to find. However, we found the first five volumes (only) on the Web, and we are excited to be able to make them available for download in PDF format. With a few, minor exceptions, these downloads contain the whole text as originally published. The poems are completely intact; they have been re-formatted, and each volume contains a Table of Contents and an Index of First Lines. Enjoy!
