Webb
Appears in 1,179 hymnals First Line: The morning light is breaking Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking;
The darkness disappears
The sons of earth are wakeing
To penitential tears;
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar,
Of nations in commotion,
Prepared for Zion's war.

Stå upp, stå upp för Jesus!
Author: George Duffield Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #S28 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Stå upp, stå upp för Jesus Lyrics: 1 Stå upp, stå upp, för Jesus,
Du korsets helga här!
Och hans baner i spetsen
Mot fienderna bär.
Från seger och till seger
Hans här framtåga skall,
Tills hela vida världen
Lagts till hans fotapall.
2 Stå upp, stå upp för Jesus,
Hör krigstrumpetens ljud,
Ryck fram, där striden rasar,
Och slå ett slag för Gud,
Drag manligt, oför färadt
Framåt mot slutna led,
Låt faran elda modet
Och makt med makt slå ned.
3 Stå upp, sta upp för Jesus,
Men i hans kraft allen.
Ej köttslig arm här hj¨lper,
Ej d¨dlig hjältes ben.
Tag nådesordets rustning,
Och vaka, bed med flit,
Och hvarest faran, plikten
Dig kallar, skynda dit.
4 Stå upp, stå upp för Jesus,
Ej striden blifver lång;
Snart ofredsåskor tystna,
Snart ljuder segersång,
Ty den, som öfvervinner,
Skall lifvets krona få
Och inför Gud och lammet,
Med evig ära stå.

George Duffield
1818 - 1888 Author of "Webb" in Crowning Praises Duffield, George, Jr., D.D., son of the Rev. Dr. Duffield, a Presbyterian Minister, was born at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Sept. 12, 1818, and graduated at Yale College, and at the Union Theological Seminary, New York. From 1840 to 1847 he was a Presbyterian Pastor at Brooklyn; 1847 to 1852, at Bloomfield, New Jersey; 1852 to 1861, at Philadelphia; 1861 to 1865, at Adrian, Michigan; 1865 to 1869, at Galesburg, Illinois; 1869, at Saginaw City, Michigan; and from 1869 at Ann Arbor and Lansing, Michigan. His hymns include;—
1. Blessed Saviour, Thee I love. Jesus only. One of four hymns contributed by him to Darius E. Jones's Temple Melodies, 1851. It is in 6 stanzas of 6 lines. In Dr. Hatfield's Church Hymnbook it is given in 3 stanzas. The remaining three hymns of the same date are:—
2. Parted for some anxious days. Family Hymn.
3. Praise to our heavenly Father, God. Family Union.
4. Slowly in sadness and in tears. Burial.
5. Stand up, stand up for Jesus. Soldiers of the Cross. The origin of this hymn is given in Lyra Sac. Americana, 1868, p. 298, as follows:—
"I caught its inspiration from the dying words of that noble young clergyman, Rev. Dudley Atkins Tyng, rector of the Epiphany Church, Philadelphia, who died about 1854. His last words were, ‘Tell them to stand up for Jesus: now let us sing a hymn.' As he had been much persecuted in those pro-slavery days for his persistent course in pleading the cause of the oppressed, it was thought that these words had a peculiar significance in his mind; as if he had said, ‘Stand up for Jesus in the person of the downtrodden slave.' (Luke v. 18.)"
Dr. Duffield gave it, in 1858, in manuscript to his Sunday School Superintendent, who published it on a small handbill for the children. In 1858 it was included in The Psalmist, in 6 stanzas of 8 lines. It was repeated in several collections and in Lyra Sac. Amer., 1868, from whence it passed, sometimes in an abbreviated form, into many English collections. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
