William Young Fullerton

William Young Fullerton

William Young Fullerton was born in Belfast, Ireland, on 8 March 1857 and died at Bedford Park, Middlesex, England on the 17 August 1932 at the age of 75.

Fullerton heard Charles Spurgeon preaching the name of Jesus when he was a young man and offered his life to God. Spurgeon became his friend and mentor and Fullerton eventually wrote Spurgeon's biography.

A Baptist preacher for much of his life, Fullerton served as President of the Baptist Union and Home Secretary of the Baptist Missionary Society. At Keswick he was a frequent speaker often in demand. However he is best remembered for his famous 1929 hymn entitled "I Cannot Tell", which he put to the tune of the traditional Irish melody "Londonderry".
