Waiting For The King

Author: Mary Elizabeth Servoss Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9108 First Line: Waiting for His coming, toiling as I wait Refrain First Line: Waiting for the coming of the King of kings! Lyrics: 1 Waiting for His coming, toiling as I wait; But a humble worker, in His vast estate; Yet my single talent must not idle lie, He will ask the increase of me by and by. Refrain: Waiting for the coming of the King of kings! Be it soon or late, I’m working as I wait; How my heart rejoices, of His glory sings, Waiting for the King of kings. 2 Tho’ my lot be weary—toiling since the spring, Yet a time of resting cometh with my king; Now the whitened harvest waits the willing hand, And the call for reapers soundeth through the land. [Refrain] 3 Toiling in the morning, ’neath the sun-bright ray; Toiling still when evening draws his curtains gray; Yet though often troubled—weary of earth’s guile, All will be forgotten, when I see His smile. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Waiting for His coming, toiling as I wait]

Edmund S. Lorenz

1854 - 1942 Person Name: E. S. Lorenz Composer of "[Waiting for his coming, toiling as I wait]" 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
