On With The Cross
Author: Lizzie DeArmond Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8709 First Line: On thro’ the Easter sunlight Refrain First Line: On with the cross, it is shining clear and bright Lyrics: 1 On thro’ the Easter sunlight,
Waving His banner high,
Singing with joyful voices,
Jesus can never die.
Bound in his chains forever
Now lies our conquered foe;
On with a note of triumph,
God’s mighty pow’r to show.
Refrain:
On with the cross, it is shining clear and bright,
On till the lands afar see His blessèd light;
Shout! let the song of triumph
O’er the wide world now ring;
Hail to the risen Savior!
Christ, our mighty king.
2 Haste while the skies are glowing,
Tell of the Light of men,
Risen with life eternal,
Unto His own again;
Bursting the bonds of sadness,
Setting the captive free,
Bringing to earth new gladness,
Life’s blessèd jubilee. [Refrain]
3 On with the cross of Jesus,
Brighter than star or sun,
Waving His standard o’er us,
Praising the risen One;
Follow His hallowed footsteps,
Safe is the path He trod,
Leading from earth’s dark portals
Up to the throne of God. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [On thro’ the Easter sunlight]

Edmund S. Lorenz
1854 - 1942 Person Name: E. S. Lorenz Composer of "[On, through the Easter sunlight]" in The King's Message 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.
