I wrote a tune for the quote sometimes called "John Wesley’s Rule of Life" because it has been attributed to John Wesley. However, the quote does not seem to come directly from Wesley, click this link for more information:

Quote Text:
"Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can."
The quote from this song is often attributed to John Wesley.
"John Wesley (1703 -1791) was an English cleric, theologian, and evangelist,
who was a leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known
as Methodism. The societies he founded became the dominant form of the
independent Methodist movement that continues to this day."

But, quoteinvestigator.com had this to say:
"Researchers have been unable to find these precise words in the oeuvre of
John Wesley... however, there is evidence that he delivered sermons
containing passages providing a partial match."
"In 1873 the periodical “Advocate of Peace” credited a six-part instance to
John Wesley. This was the first ascription of a version of the popular
modern saying to Wesley seen by QI"

Adapted the music for the melody for the hymn
“Jesus Christ is Risen Today” because Charles Wesley (John Wesley's brother)
wrote an additional verse to that hymn.

I based the illustration on a Russian icon of the "Good Samaritan" made in
the late 18th century.
