====================
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.

Bowdoin College, 1859 with highest honors; Newton Theological Institution, 1862; Honorary D.Div. from Colby Univeristy, 1877. Pastorates long, few, and conspicuous: 1863-1882, Boston, Massachusetts; 1882-1891, Albany, New York; 1891-1906, at the historic First Baptist Church, Providence, R.I. where he continued as pastor-emeritus until his death.

King, an eighth-generation descendant of John Alden of Plymouth and of Francis Eaton, also of the Mayflower group, loved his native New England. With a great interest in history and biographies, he authored a number of historical papers, pamphlets, sermons, and discourses and was a frequent contributor to denominational journals and reviews, including a history of the First Baptist Church of Providence, R.I.
King wrote a number of occasional hymns, several of which were published by Pond and Co. of New York. These include an Easter hymn, "Sing, O Heavens and Earth Rejoice" and a Christmas hymn, "Angels Sand the Natal Day." The Sursum Corda (1898) included three hymns by king: "Christ, our Shepherd, Leads Us Still" (1886); "Holy Babe, Mary's Son, Calm the Night" (1886) and "O Thou, with Whom a Thousand Years Are But as Yesterday" (1871).
King was also the pastor of another Baptist hymn writer, John M. Hewes.
