Charles Tindlely was born in
Maryland in 1851. Although his father was a slave, his
mother was free and so was he. His mother dies when he
was young and he was raised by an aunt. They were very
poor and Charles had a hard life. As an adult, Charles
was drawn to the church and became a minister. He also
loved writing hymns. He wrote many of the songs that we
are still singing.
