Meredith’s father played the violin, and his mother sang in the church choir. By age 10, Isaac was taking organ lessons. By age 12, he was singing alto in the church choir. At 13, he was converted by the personal invitation of his brother. For a number of years, he sang to prisoners in the county jail each Sunday morning. In the summer of 1891, while vacationing in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, a Dr. Munhall invited him to sing in evangelistic meetings. Shortly thereafter, he entered evangelism himself and began writing Gospel songs. He and Grant Tullar founded the Tullar-Meredith music publishing house. Meredith himself composed over 1,000 songs.
