When was the hymn 'Stand up stand up for Jesus' written?

American minister George Duffield Jr wrote the hymn 'Stand up stand up for Jesus' in 1858, after he was inspired by the dying words of his friend and abolitionist, Pastor Dudley Atkins Tyng after he had been maimed in a farm accident. As he lay dying Tyng told his father 'Tell my brethren of the ministry, wherever you meet them, to stand up for Jesus'. These words cut a chord with Duffield when he heard them and this hymn is the result.
