List of Wesley Hymn Collections
Only first editions are listed here, unless otherwise noted. Complicating matters, the brothers would sometimes reuse the same title but with different contents. For a more detailed assessment of editions and revisions, see the online edition of Wesley hymns edited by Randy L. Maddox.
For a list of which hymns appeared in which collections, see John Julian’s Dictionary of Hymnology (1892), pp. 1259–1266 (here), or see the comprehensive index compiled by Randy Maddox (here).
