Sufficient Unto the Day

Author: F. G. Burroughs Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: What if today the sun is hid! Refrain First Line: His grace is sufficient today! Lyrics: 1 What is today the sun is hid! We'll see his face tomorrow! For there's a far exceeding joy With ev'ry weight of sorrow. Chorus: His grace is sufficient today! His grace is sufficient today! Then why should we borrow sad care from the morrow, When grace is sufficient today. 2 What if the fig-tree blossom not, And fields no meat are yielding! Yet from the famine's cruel blight His own our God is shielding. [Chorus] 3 "Give us this day our daily bread," In humble trust we're pleading, Assured that he who answers pray'r Will grant us all we're needing. [Chorus] 4 Then let the storms and tempest rage Throughout the night of sorrow, They'll make the desert to rejoice And blossom on the morrow! [Chorus] Used With Tune: [What if today the sun is hid!]

Edmund S. Lorenz

1854 - 1942 Person Name: E. S. Lorenz Composer of "[What if today the sun is hid!]" in Song Praises 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
