On the first anniversary of his conversion, which happened to be Pentecost Sunday in 1739, Charles Wesley penned this outstanding hymn. In fact, penning a hymn on his conversion anniversary was something he made a tradition for years afterward. The title is said to come from something Wesley heard his spiritual mentor say.
