It was written by George Duffield, Jr. in 1858 and is based on the dying words of Dudley Atkins Tyng . The traditional tune "Webb" was composed by George James Webb, and the lesser - used tune "Geibel" was composed by Adam Geibel . </P> <P> In 1858, Presbyterian minister George Duffield, Jr. was an associate of Dudley Atkins Tyng who had recently been removed from his local Episcopalian community for speaking against slavery . Duffield assisted Tyng in supporting a revival of evangelicalism in Pennsylvania . In March 1858, Tyng gave a sermon at a YMCA meeting of over 5,000 men on Exodus 10: 11, "Go now ye that are men, and serve the Lord", converting over 1,000 men listening in the crowd . The following month, Tyng was maimed in a farming accident . Before he died a few days after the accident he told his father "Tell my brethren of the ministry, wherever you meet them, to stand up for Jesus ." Duffield then wrote the hymn based on those words, and also incorporated the phrase "Ye that are men now serve Him" from Tyng's memorable sermon the month before he died . At a memorial service for Tyng, Duffield gave a sermon based on Ephesians 6: 14, "Stand firm, wearing the whole armour of God", and ended it by reciting the new hymn he had written as a tribute . The hymn was first brought into public knowledge through leaflets printed by the superintendent of the local Christian school containing the words of the hymn . One of these leaflets ended up being published in a Baptist newspaper, and "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus" was published in The Church Psalmist in 1859 . </P>
