Stephen Higginson Tyng (March 1, 1800 – September 3, 1885) was a leading clergyman of the evangelical party of the Episcopal Church.

This marriage produced an additional four children: Thomas Mitchell, Stephen Higginson, Morris Ashurst, and Charles Rockland.

Dr. Tyng died on September 3, 1885, in Irvington-on-Hudson and is buried with his late wife and children at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.

He was instrumental in renovating the church building to accommodate Sunday school rooms as he was an early proponent of Christian education.

During that time, Tyng converted J.P. Morgan to the faith, and he in turn helped build a new church on East 16th Street and Rutherford Place, facing Stuyvesant Square in New York.

Tyng's first son, Dudley Atkins, followed in his father's footsteps both as an Episcopal clergyman and by becoming rector of Church of the Epiphany in Philadelphia.

In 1857 Philadelphia was in the midst of a revival and, while visiting a barn on his property, his sleeve became caught in a piece of machinery and resulted in extensive injury.

These parting words became the inspiration for the instantly popular new hymn, "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus" written by family friend and Presbyterian minister George Duffield Jr. Tyng's fourth son, also named Stephen Higginson Tyng, was an Episcopal clergyman and founded in 1874 the now demolished Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, commonly referred to as Dr. Tyng's Church; it was located on the northeast corner of Madison Avenue and 42nd Street, "just a block from Grand Central Station."
