I Love Him Far Better

Author: T. W. S. Hymnal: The Finest of the Wheat No. 3 #43 (1904) Topics: Confession-Testimony First Line: There’s a dear place remembrance brings back to me Refrain First Line: I love him far better than in days of yore Lyrics: 1 There’s a dear place remembrance brings back to me, ‘Tis where I found pardon, ‘tis heaven to me; There Jesus spoke peace to my poor, weary soul, He forgave all my sins, and my heart he made whole. Refrain: I love him far better than in days of yore, I’ll serve him more truly than ever before; I’ll do as he bids me, whatever the cost; I’ll be a true soldier, I’ll die at my post. 2 And oft when I’m tempted to turn from the track, When I think of my Savior, my mind wanders back To the time when he suffered on Calvary’s tree, And I hear a voice saying: “I suffered for thee!” [Refrain] 3 It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart, He’ll ever be with us, if we do our part; There is naught in this world can true pleasure afford, But there’s peace and contentment in serving the Lord. [Refrain] 4 There is fullness of blessing for all who believe, And his name now confessing, his Spirit receive, For he sanctifies wholly, and saves from all sin, All who consecrate fully, and by faith enter in. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There’s a dear place remembrance brings back to me]

Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God; not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear my awful load. 2 Your voice alone, O Lord, can speak to me of grace; your power alone, O Son of God, can all my sin erase. No other work but yours, no other blood will do; no strength but that which is divine can bear me safely through. 3 I praise the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; and with unfaltering lip and heart I call this Savior mine. My Lord has saved my life and freely pardon gives; I love because he first loved me, I live because he lives. Scripture: John 14:19 Languages: English Tune Title: LEOMINSTER

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
