Send Us A Savior

Author: Edmund Simon Lorenz Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8579 First Line: "Send us a Savior," hear the nations cry Refrain First Line: Bitter the cry of a race in sin Lyrics: 1 "Send us a Savior," hear the nations cry; Why in the darkness must we pine and die? Is there no helper for the sore oppressed? Is there no refuge where the weary rest? Refrain: Bitter the cry of a race in sin, Groping for light, yet it breaks not in; Shall they die, while we cry, Send us a Savior, we pray? 2 "Send us a Savior," for our altar fires Bring not the peace for which the soul aspires; Cleansed from our sin, from wrath divine set free, This is our need of needs, for this our plea. [Refrain] 3 "Send us a Savior," for our hearts are sore, Broken in spirit, we can bear no more; Hearts torn with anguish clamor loud for peace; Is there no strong one who can bring release? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: ["Send us a Savior," hear the nations cry]

Edmund S. Lorenz

1854 - 1942 Person Name: Edmund Simon Lorenz Author of "Send Us A Savior" in The Cyber Hymnal 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
