  • Summary

  • IN THIS EPISODE: "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" by Charles Wesley (1707-1788)

    It is reported that Charles Wesley was sitting in his study one day when a little bird flew into his open window, it was being hunted by a hawk and the predator had almost overtaken his prey when the frightened bird escaped into Wesley’s study. The story goes that Charles watched this scene unfold, let the bird out once it was safe, took his pen, and wrote: “Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly!”
