All the World is Praising Him

Author: E. D. Mund Hymnal: Songs of the Kingdom #191 (1896) First Line: Like the sound of many waters Refrain First Line: Hark the song! all the world is praising Him Lyrics: 1 Like the sound of many waters, Or the roaring of the sea, Voices of earth’s sons and daughters Swell the song of Jubilee. Refrain: Hark the song! all the world is praising Him! The world is praising Him, the word is praising Him! O, praise the Lord! all the world is praising Him, An anthem grand and free. 2 Lands once dumb have found their voices, And the chorus rings more clear; In his course the sun rejoices, Voices new each day to hear. [Refrain] 3 Grander, fuller swells the chorus, New-born nations raise the cry; Golden days are just before us; Praise to Him who rules the sky. [Refrain] 4 Mountains high or surging ocean Can not stem the tuneful tide; Death takes up the sweet devotion, Joins the song the other side.

Edmund S. Lorenz

1854 - 1942 Person Name: E. S. Lorenz Composer of "[Like the sound of many waters]" in Tried and True Pseudonymns: John D. Cresswell, L. S. Edwards, E. D. Mund, ==================== Lorenz, Edmund Simon. (North Lawrence, Stark County, Ohio, July 13, 1854--July 10, 1942, Dayton, Ohio). Son of Edward Lorenz, a German-born shoemaker who turned preacher, served German immigrants in northwestern Ohio, and was editor of the church paper, Froehliche Botschafter, 1894-1900. Edmund graduated from Toledo High School in 1870, taught German, and was made a school principal at a salary of $20 per week. At age 19, he moved to Dayton to become the music editor for the United Brethren Publishing House. He graduated from Otterbein College (B.A.) in 1880, studied at Union Biblical Seminary, 1878-1881, then went to Yale Divinity School where he graduated (B.D.) in 1883. He then spent a year studying theology in Leipzig, Germany. He was ordained by the Miami [Ohio] Conference of the United Brethren in Christ in 1877. The following year, he married Florence Kumler, with whom he had five children. Upon his return to the United States, he served as pastor of the High Street United Brethren Church in Dayton, 1884-1886, and then as president of Lebanon Valley College, 1887-1889. Ill health led him to resign his presidency. In 1890 he founded the Lorenz Publishing Company of Dayton, to which he devoted the remainder of his life. For their catalog, he wrote hymns, and composed many gospel songs, anthems, and cantatas, occasionally using pseudonyms such as E.D. Mund, Anna Chichester, and G.M. Dodge. He edited three of the Lorenz choir magazines, The Choir Leader, The Choir Herald, and Kirchenchor. Prominent among the many song-books and hymnals which he compiled and edited were those for his church: Hymns for the Sanctuary and Social Worship (1874), Pilgerlieder (1878), Songs of Grace (1879), The Otterbein Hymnal (1890), and The Church Hymnal (1934). For pastors and church musicians, he wrote several books stressing hymnody: Practical Church Music (1909), Church Music (1923), Music in Work and Worship (1925), and The Singing Church (1938). In 1936, Otterbein College awarded him the honorary D.Mus. degree and Lebanon Valley College the honorary LL.D. degree. --Information from granddaughter Ellen Jane Lorenz Porter, DNAH Archives
