Born: September 2, 1809, Petersburg, New York.
Died: June 22, 1874, New York City.


Lydia and her sister came to Christ with the help of Baptist missionary Eben Tucker. Following their conversion, the Baxter girls helped found the local Baptist church. After Lydia married, she moved to New York City. She was an invalid most of her adult life, but that didn’t stop her active mind from studying the Bible and writing. In 1855, she published Gems by the Wayside, a book of devotional poems. In addition, she often hosted meetings of religious leaders at her home.

I’m Kneeling, Lord, at Mercy’s Gate
I’m Weary, I’m Fainting
In the Fadeless Springtime
Master Is Coming, The
One by One we Cross the River
