Martin Hymnal: Sunday School Voices, No.2 #100 (1913) First Line: Rally round the standard with the hosts of God Refrain First Line: Rally round the standard, soldiers of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Rally round the standard with the hosts of God; Sing the praise and glory of our Savior, Christ the Lord; Angel-hosts are praising round the throne on high; Earth, rejoice until the echoes reach the vaulted sky. Chorus: Rally round the standard, soldiers of the Lord, Rally round the standard, sing with one accord; Rally round the standard with the hosts of God; Sing the praise and glory of our Savior, Christ the Lord. 2 Rally round the standard, march in God’s own light, Clothed in royal garments, putting off the works of night; Thro’ our loving Savior, by his endless life, More than conq’rers we shall be in him who leads the strife. [Chorus] 3 Rally round the standard, hold it to the world, Keep its folds of radiant beauty evermore unfurled; Weary not with marching, heed the bugle-call, Crown our living, loving Savior King and Lord of all.

Civilla D. Martin

1866 - 1948 Person Name: Mrs. C. D. Martin Author of "Rally Round the Standard" in Sunday School Voices, No.2 Martin, Civilla Durfee (Jordan Falls, Nova Scotia, August 21, 1866--March 9, 1948, Atlanta, Georgia). Daughter of James N. and Irene (Harding) Holden. She married Rev. John F. Geddes, Congregational minister of Coventryvilee, N.Y. at Jordan Falls Methodist Church, Shelbourne Co., Nova Scotia, on May 19, 1891. There is thus far no information about their marriage and its end. After several years of teaching school, she married Walter Stillman Martin, a Baptist minister, and traveled with him in evangelistic work. However, because of frail health, she was compelled to remain home much of the time. In 1916, they became members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). They had one son, A.G. Martin. In her writing, she used only her initials, "C.D." rather than her full name of that of her composer-husband. She is reputed to have written several hundred hymns and religious songs. Her first one, "God Will Take Care of You," written in 1904 became world-famous. Her husband wrote the music for this and many of her other hymns. "His Eye is on the Sparrow" written in 1906 and set to music by Charles H. Gabriel, has also received wide acclaim. In addition to the above, "Like As A Father," "A Welcome for Me," and "The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power" are among her better-known hymns. Her husband and collaborator, W.S. Martin (1862-1935) preceded her in death. For the last 29 years of her life, she made her home in Atlanta, Georgia, where she was a member of the First Christian Church. Her funeral was held on March 10, 1948 at Spring Hill and the interment was in the West View Cemetery in Atlanta. --Carlton C. Buck, DNAH Archives and email from Rev. Lester M.
