Crush It Down

Author: Jessie H. Brown Hymnal: Songs for Work and Worship #195 (1900) First Line: Crush the traffic out of sight, lift the standard of the right Refrain First Line: Crush it down! crush it down Lyrics: 1 Crush the traffic out of sight, lift the standard of the right, Let the weaker find a brother in the strong! Bid the tempter flee away ‘neath the searching light of day, And our land be cleansed forever from the wrong. Chorus: Crush it down! crush it down! Crush it down! crush it down! ‘Tis a foe whose wiles we know, crush it down! Boldly crush the traffic out, put its coward force to rout, Crush it down! crush it down! crush it down! 2 Crush the traffic out of sight, let it sink in deepest night, Let the shadow from the hearthstone lifted be; Let the eyes made dim by tears see the glory thro’ the years, And the watchers chant their psalm of jubilee. [Chorus] 3 Crush the traffic out of sight, crush it with Jehovah’s might, Let the God of battles arm us as we go; Holy One, ‘tis thou alone, who hast Satan overthrown; Grant the blessing to thy warring hosts below!

Edmund S. Lorenz

1854 - 1942 Person Name: E. S. Lorenz Composer of "[Crush the traffic out of sight, lift the standard of the right]" in Songs for Work and Worship 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
