It is traditional to stand for the Hallelujah Chorus
The Hallelujah Chorus is the 24th movement in Handel's famous oratorio, Messiah. It has become a tradition to the audience to stand up while the recital of the chorus with a belief that King George II did the same. And it is now even popular as the background music for a commercial for Baskin Robbins ice creams.
Because when King George the second heard it, he was so inspired, that he stood up. When everyone saw him stand, they stood too. In has been a tradition ever since then to stand when the Messiah is played. The Hallelujah Chorus, is a Song of Praise - literally the word "Hallelujah" meaning "Praise be to G-d". The text of Handel's great piece comes from the Old Testament Psalms (as requoted in the New Testament Book of Revelations), words which continue to be sung and recited in their original Hebrew form in synagogues to this day during a part of the service known as "Hallel". It has always been the custom for Jews to stand whilst praising the Lord during "Hallel", a practise which was passed on to Christendom where it is customary for congregations to stand for Songs of Praise (or Hymns). As Head of the Church of England, King George would certainly have been aware of the obligation to stand for "Hallelujah" - and might well have remained standing until the last AMEN at the end of the movement.
[Verse 1] When my soul is weak I sing God strengthen me When I find myself in need I sing God rescue me When my troubles overwhelm I sing God bring your peace Lord your one and only Son Is all I ever need [Chorus] Hallelujah Your love has set me free Hallelujah By your offering Our Father In You I believe Hallelujah I stand in liberty [Verse 2] If my world comes crashing down In Your love I'll be found In this freedom I receive Causes me to sing [Chorus] [Coda] I am free, free All my chains are broken (x4) [Chorus] Cuz' I'm free, free, free...

Hallelujah- Leonard Cohen. Now I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do ya? It goes like this the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Halle-lu-jah. Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Baby I have been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you. I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah

"Courage to Stand" Emily Beth Bond Standing, standing, Standing on the promises of Christ my Savior. Standing, standing -- I'm standing on the promises of God. Verse 1: We are called to stand For such a time as this. We must fight for what is right, And learn to trust in Him. We have a truth to live for -- A promise to defend. Stand up tall, stand up proud 'Til the very end. Chorus: Stand strong, stand firm. Press on until the end, and claim the promise of His word. We have got a message; Let's spread it through the land, Praying for the courage to stand. Verse 2: Let's run, but let's not hide, Proclaiming once again. To fight for what's right, Showing love unto all men. Not fearing what may come, Nor looking to the past. Trusting everything we are To the One Whose love will last. (Chorus) Standing, standing, Standing on the promises of Christ my Savior. Standing, standing -- I'm standing on the promises of God. (Chorus) (Chorus) Praying for the courage to stand; Praying for the courage to stand.
