This is a very inspiring Hymn of Our Time. Stand Up for Jesus is making us understand the importance of staying close to our maker come rain , come sunshine.
George Duffield, Jr. (1818-1888) worked this psalm out of a terrible mishap that brought about the early demise of perhaps of the most mixing minister in the northeastern US during the mid-nineteenth-century.
Dudley Tyng (1825-1858), a moving Episcopalian evangelist, was one of a few pastors partaking in an extraordinary citywide recovery that cleared Philadelphia in 1858.
His solid doctrinal teaching and his abolitionist bondage way of talking were well known for some and enraged others, bringing about his acquiescence from an Episcopal assemblage that he pastored following the retirement of his dad.
Stand Up, Go to bat for Jesus was a psalm motivated by the perishing message of Dudley Tyng, a youthful evangelist in Philadelphia who had to leave his Episcopal church pastorate for standing up against subjection during the 1800s.
As well as beginning another congregation, Tyng and different clergymen taught recovery gatherings at the neighborhood YMCA during lunch and before long started to draw in thousands (this restoration period is known as
“Crafted by God in Philadelphia.”) In Spring of 1858 Tyng taught an energizing message to 5,000 young fellows at the YMCA and more than 1,000 made a calling of confidence.
During his lesson he evidently said “I would prefer that this right arm were excised at the storage compartment than that I ought to miss the mark on my obligation to you in conveying God’s message.”
The song, “Stand up, go to bat for Jesus,” was composed during the extraordinary restoration of 1858, that came to be known as “Crafted by God in Philadelphia.”
It depended on the perishing expressions of the Fire up. Dudley A. Tyng, perhaps of the most dynamic pastor in the recovery
It is said that, when he taught on Walk 30, 1858, at the noontime petition meeting in Jayne s Lobby, 5,000 men paid attention to his lesson from the text, “Go now, ye that are men, and serve the Ruler,” and that before the end of the gathering north of 1,000 communicated their motivation to become Christians.
A couple of days after the fact at “Brookfield,” not a long way from Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, he left his review briefly and went out to the stable, where a donkey was working, bridled to a machine, shelling corn.
At the point when he praised the donkey, his sleeve trapped in the pinions of the haggle arm was terribly torn.
After a difficult yet short sickness, demise at long last guaranteed him. As he was kicking the bucket, his dad inquired as to whether he had any directive for his kindred clergymen in the restoration.
He answered, “Let all of us defend Jesus.” That message was borne to them alongside the tragic insight about his passing.
Dr. George Duffield, Jr., the next Sunday taught a dedication message on his late companion, Tyng, taking as his message Ephesians 6. 14; and he composed this psalm, in view of Tyng’s withering words, as a fitting peak to the prospect of his message.
There is just a single method for remaining in this malicious day and that is to have the force of the Essence of God working inside! He survived and He has sent us the Blanket so we could do likewise.
He even told us, “Really, genuinely, I tell you, whoever has faith in me will likewise do the works that I do; and more prominent works than these will he do, in light of the fact that I am going to the Dad.” John 14:12 ESV.
This is really perhaps of the saddest story behind a notable profound melody. It happens in 1858, not long before the beginning of the Nationwide conflict.
Dudley Atkins Tyng was an evangelist and an abolitionist who had quite recently wrapped up teaching a help at a mission in Philadelphia.
He held early afternoon administrations at the YMCA where upwards of 5,000 were known to accumulate at one time. On Walk 30, 1858, 1,000 men gave their hearts to God.
Some that were available at the last assistance that Tyng taught have shared that he said, “I would prefer that this right arm were cut off at the storage compartment than that I ought to miss the mark on my obligation to you in conveying God’s message.”
Lyrics
1.Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner, it must not suffer loss.
From victory unto victory His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished, and Christ is Lord indeed.
2.Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the solemn watchword hear;
If while ye sleep He suffers, away with shame and fear;
Where’er ye meet with evil, within you or without,
Charge for the God of battles, and put the foe to rout.
3.Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict, in this His glorious day.
Ye that are brave now serve Him against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger, and strength to strength oppose.
4.Stand up, stand up for Jesus, stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you, ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the Gospel armor, each piece put on with prayer;
Where duty calls or danger, be never wanting there.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, each soldier to his post,
Close up the broken column, and shout through all the host:
Make good the loss so heavy, in those that still remain,
And prove to all around you that death itself is gain.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle, the next the victor’s song.
To those who vanquish evil a crown of life shall be; They with the King of Glory shall reign eternally.
