George Duffield (1818-1888)

Duffield’s father and grandfather were Presbyterian ministers. He graduated from Yale University in 1837, and from Union Theological Seminary in 1840. Ordained a Presbyterian minister like his father and grandfather, he first pastored at the Fifth Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, New York, for seven years. He then served at the First Church of Bloomfield, New Jersey for four years. In 1851, he accepted a call to the Central Presbyterian Church of the Northern Liberties in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There he found a mortgaged church building in a neighborhood from which the population was moving westward, a congregation reduced in numbers, disheartened, and unable to meet its financial obligations. Duffield held on until 1861, when he resigned his pastorate. He later served at Adrian, Michigan for four years; Galesburg, Illinois; then Saginaw City, Michigan. Hymnologist Samuel Willoughby Duffield was his son. His works include:

  • Hymns for Schools and Bible Classes, 1859
  • Hymns, Original and Translated, 1888

Hymns:

  1. Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus
