Charles C. Luther

Charles C. Luther (1847–1924)

Charles C. Luther was an American hymn writer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1847, little is known about his personal life or career outside of his contributions to hymnody. His works are preserved primarily through hymn collections of the period, and he is remembered for hymns that reflect the devotional and evangelical spirit of his time.

Luther’s hymns were used in various Protestant worship settings, contributing to the repertoire of congregational singing during an era when hymns played a central role in personal and communal devotion. He passed away in 1924, leaving behind a small but valued collection of hymn texts.

While historical records on Luther are sparse, his inclusion in hymnals demonstrates that his work resonated with congregations and helped shape worship practices in the American church during his lifetime.
