The Wonderful Blood
Author: E. S. L. Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: I stood in amaze and wonder Refrain First Line: ‘Tis the wonderful blood, the blood of my Lord Lyrics: 1 I stood in amaze and wonder,
That God should forgive my sin!
That evil of heart and evil of life,
Salvation I still may win!
Refrain:
‘Tis the wonderful blood, the blood of my Lord
That purges my sin and cleanses my soul!
‘Tis the wonderful blood, marvelous flood,
That saves me and makes me whole.

Denying my Lord’s control;
The Saviour’s sweet call, the Spirit’s low plea,
Brought hope to my sin-sick soul. [Refrain]
3 The blood of my Lord has cleansed me,
Day breaks on my soul’s dark night;
Once foul, now I’m clean, once dead, now I live,
Once blind, I have found my sight. [Refrain]
4 O tell of its pow’r transforming,
Wherever men yearn for peace;
The erring it guides, brings strength to the weak,
For sin gives complete release. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [I stood in amaze and wonder]

1854 - 1942 Person Name: E. S. L. Author of "The Wonderful Blood" in The Voice of Thanksgiving 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.
