Some Day I'll Be There

Author: E. S. L. Hymnal: Songs for Work and Worship #27 (1900) First Line: In that land of joy and song Refrain First Line: I'll be there some happy day Lyrics: 1 In that land of joy and song, ‘Mid that joyous blood-washed throng, I’ll be there, some happy day I’ll be there! Vict’ry won by Jesus’ grave; Evermore to sing his praise; Praise his name, some happy day I’ll be there! Chorus: I’ll be there some happy day, I’ll be there some happy day! In that land of song and gladness, I’ll be there! Through earth’s trials, pain and woe, Though my path may lead below, Praise his name, some happy day I’ll be there! 2 Saved from ev’ry taint of sin, Pure without and pure within, I’ll be there, some happy day I’ll be there! Nobler than my present thought, Stronger for each battle fought; Praise his name, some happy day I’ll be there! [Chorus] 3 With the loved, redeemed and blest, With the saints, once sore oppressed, I’ll be there, some happy day I’ll be there! IN companionship so sweet, ‘Mid love’s raptures, pure, complete, Praise his name, some happy day I’ll be there! [Chorus] 4 With the throng before the throne Praising him, the Three in One, I’ll be there, some happy day I’ll be there! Leaving all that’s gone before, Satisfied, to love, adore; Praise his name, some happy day I’ll be there!

Edmund S. Lorenz

1854 - 1942 Person Name: E. S. L. Author of "Some Day I'll Be There" in The Master's Call 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
