I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES
Samuel Medley, a Baptist minister, was born in Hertfordshire, England in 1738. He joined the navy and was severely wounded. During his recovery, someone read to him a sermon by Dr. Isaac Watts, which led to his conversion. After his recovery, he entered the ministry. For the last 27 years of his life, he was the influential pastor of a large Baptist Church in Liverpool.
