_MUSIC._ FEDERAL STREET is the name of a street in Salem, Mass., where the composer lived and where his wife was born, lived, and died. The tune was written in 1832 to a child’s funeral hymn by Anne Steele, which began, “So fades the lovely, blooming flower.” Henry Kemble Oliver, 1800-85, was a great lover of music even though his father disapproved of music and forbade the son having anything to do with it. After graduating from Dartmouth, he had a varied career as teacher, manager of cotton mills, adjutant-general of his state, treasurer of the State of Massachusetts, and mayor of Salem. He had acquired some musical education and found time to compose and publish a considerable amount of sacred music. 193. Stand up, stand up for Jesus _George Duffield, Jr._, 1818-88 A hymn of the Christian warfare, widely known, and found in nearly all English hymn books. The origin of it is best given in the author’s own words in a leaflet printed in Detroit, 1883, and quoted by his son, Samuel Duffield, in _English Hymns_, 1886: “Stand up for Jesus” was the dying message of the Rev. Dudley A. Tyng, to the Young Men’s Christian Association, and the ministers associated with them in the Noon-Day Prayer Meeting, during the great revival of 1858, usually known as “The Work of God in Philadelphia.” A very dear personal friend, I knew young Tyng as one of the noblest, bravest, manliest men I ever met; not inferior in eloquence to his honored father, and the acknowledged leader of a campaign for Christ that has become historical. The Sabbath before his death he preached in the immense edifice known as Jaynes’ Hall, one of the most successful sermons of modern times. Of the five thousand men there assembled, at least one thousand, it was believed, were “the slain of the Lord.” His text was Exodus 10:11, and hence the allusion in the third verse of the hymn. The following Wednesday, leaving his study for a moment, he went to the barn floor, where a mule was at work on a horse-power, shelling corn. Patting him on the neck, the sleeve of his silk study gown caught in the cogs of the wheel, and his arm was torn out by the roots! His death occurred in a few hours. Never was there greater lamentation over a young man than over him, and when Gen. 50:26 was announced as the text for his funeral sermon, the place at once became a Bochim, and continued so for many minutes. The following Sunday the author of the hymn preached from Eph. 6:14, and the above verses were written simply as the concluding exhortation. The superintendent of the Sabbath-school had a fly-leaf printed for the children—a stray copy found its way into a Baptist newspaper—and from that paper it has gone in English, and in German and Latin translations all over the world. The first time the author heard it sung outside of his own denomination, was in 1864, as the favorite song of the Christian soldiers in the Army of the James.
