Author: Josepine Pollard Hymnal: Songs of the Kingdom #46 (1896) First Line: I have work enough to do Lyrics: 1 I have work enough to do, Ere the sun goes down; For myself and kindred too, Ere the sun goes down; Ev’ry idle whisper stilling, With a purpose firm and willing, All my daily task fulfilling, Ere the sun goes down. Refrain: Ere the sun goes down, Ere the sun goes down; For the night is fast descending, And my life will have an ending, When the sun goes down. 2 I must speak the loving word, Ere the sun goes down; I must let my voice be heard, Ere the sun goes down; Ev’ry cry of pity heeding, For the injured interceding, To the light the lost ones leading, Ere the sun goes down. [Refrain] 3 As I journey on my way, Ere the sun goes down, God’s commands I must obey, Ere the sun goes down; There are sins that need confessing, There are wrongs that need redressing, If I would obtain a blessing, Ere the sun goes down.

1854 - 1942 Person Name: E. S. Lorenz Composer of "[I have work enough to do]" in Garnered Sheaves 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
