Wesley Corpus

CPH (1743) - Charles Wesley Psalms1 Baker list, 44 Editorial Introduction: The second edition of CPH (1741) was a major revision of the work. John Wesley removed sixty of the psalms and hymns in the first edition to make room for thirty-seven new psalms. All of these new psalms can be found in Charles's manuscript collections (identified in footnotes below), confirming his authorship. As an indication of Charles's larger role in this edition, his name was added to the title page. The text below contains only the psalms added to this second edition, including two that had been published previously in other collections (shown in blue font). Editions: John Wesley.
