Lyrics: 1 Amid life's busy, hurrying throng, The gay, the sad, the weak, the strong, While I am traveling along, I want my life to tell for Jesus. Refrain: I want my life to tell for Jesus! I want my life to tell for Jesus, That ev'rywhere I go, Men may His goodness know, I want my life to tell for Jesus! 2 I want to be a beacon light To cheer wayfarers in their night, And help them on their way aright; I want my life to tell for Jesus. [Refrain] 3 I want my life with Jesus hid, That I may do what He shall bid; I want to love as Jesus did; I want my life to tell for Jesus. [Refrain] 4 To wealth and fame I would not climb, But I would know God's peace sublime, And ev'rywhere—and all the time, I want my life to tell for Jesus. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Amid life's busy, hurrying throng]

Edmund S. Lorenz

1854 - 1942 Person Name: E. S. Lorenz Composer of "[Amid life's busy, hurrying throng]" in Rodeheaver's Gospel Songs for church, Sunday Schools and evangelistic services 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
