STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS
Ephesians 6:14, “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;”
Dudley Tyng served as his father’s assistant pastor in a large Philadelphia church. He was elected as it’s senior pastor when his father retired in 1854. He was only 29 years old. At first it seemed to be a great fit. But the honeymoon ended when Dudley began vigorously preaching against slavery. Loud complaints rose from the members resulting in Dudleys resignation in 1856.
He and his followers organize the Church of the Covenant in Philadelphia. His reputation quickly grew. He began noon time Bible studies at the YMCA. His ministry reached far beyond his own church walls. Dudley had a burden for leading husbands and fathers to Christ, and he helped organize a great rally to reach men.
On Tuesday, March 30, 1858, 5000 men gather to hear Dudley preach. As Dudley looked over the sea faces, he felt overwhelmed. He said, “I would rather this right arm be amputated at the trunk than that I should come short of my duty to you and delivering God’s message.” Over 1,000 of those men came to Christ.
Two weeks later, Dudley was visiting in the countryside, watching a corn thrasher in the barn. He moved his hand too close to the machine, and his sleeve was caught. His arm was ripped from its socket, the main artery being severed. Four days later, his right arm was amputated close to the shoulder. When it appeared he was dying, Dudley told his aged father, “Stand up for Jesus father. Tell my brothers of the ministry to stand up for Jesus.”
Reverend George Duffield of Philadelphia Temple Presbyterian Church was deeply stirred by Dudley’s funeral. The following Sunday he preached from Ephesians 6:14, “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;”
He read a poem, inspired by Dudley’s words, “Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross. Lift high, his royal banner, it must not suffer loss.”
The editor of a hymnal heard the poem, found appropriate music, and published it.
