From Wiki: Christian Scriver (2 January 1629 – 5 April 1693) was a German Lutheran minister and devotional writer. The writings of Scriver were devotional, including Gottholds vierhundert zufällige Andachten (1667; last ed., Basel, 1893; Eng. transl., (Gotthold's Emblems: or, Invisible Things understood by Things that are made), by R. Menzies, Edinburgh, 1857), a collection of 400 parables; Gotthold's Siech- und Siegesbette (1687; new ed., Stuttgart, 1870); and Chrysologia Catechetica, Goldpredigten über die Hauptstücke des lutherischen Katechismus (1687; new ed., Stuttgart, 1861). The collected works of Scriver have been edited by J. H. Heinrich and R. Stier (6 vols., Barmen, 1847–52). His most important work was Seelen-Schatz ("The Soul's Treasure", 5 parts, 1675-1692; new ed., 3 vols., Berlin, 1852–53), describing the progress of the soul from misery to eternal life and combining allegory, dogmatics, and ethics. It has been translated into numerous languages, including Norwegian, Danish, Swedish and Finnish. Scriver was also a hymn-writer, though his hymns never gained wide acceptance. A number of his compositions have been translated into English including Auf, Seel, und danke deinem Herrn ("To God, my soul, thank-offerings pay") and Hier lieg ich nun, mein Gott, zu deinen Füssen ("Here, O my God, I cast me at Thy feet"). His most well-known hymn Den lieben Sonne Licht und Pracht ("Love the sun light and splendor") is found in a number of renderings.
