This small volume contains hymns written by Charles Wesley (1707-1788). Charles Wesley, like his brother John, was deeply religious. He wrote thousands of hymns and published his first hymn booklet dedicated to funeral hymns in 1746. He regularly wrote hymns on the occasion of the death of family, friends and well-known members of the Methodist societies.

This volume of the Funeral Hymns is a later edition, published in Bristol in 1769.
