But sad that I hear from so many that our great hymns and gospel songs seem to be a fondly remembered experience of years gone by. Even though the author of this song, George Duffield, was born nearly two centuries ago, it still has a message for us.<br /><br />If you enjoy reading about our hymns and their authors, I invite you to check out my daily blog on the subject, Wordwise Hymns. Today's post includes the most unusual story of how "Stand Up for Jesus came to be written.<br /><br />And if you’ll excuse a brief “commercial”... With the arrival of fall, we begin to think of the Christmas season up ahead. If you do not have a good book on the subject of our Christmas carols, I encourage you to take a look at mine, Discovering the Songs of Christmas. In it, I discuss the history and meaning of 63 carols and Christmas hymns. The book is available through Amazon.
