Marot, Samuel, D.D., was born at Magdeburg, Dec. 11,1770, and studied at the University of Frankfurt a. Oder.

Vondes Himmels Thron. Confirmation. Contributed to the Berlin Gesang-Buch, 1829, as No. 350, in 5 st. of 61. Its excellence and simplicity have gained it a place in many recent German collections, as the Berlin Geistliche Lieder, &c., ed. 1863, No. 1614. Translated as:—
From Thy heav'nly throne . A good and full translation by Miss Winkworth as No. 91 in her Chorale Book for England, 1863; repeated in the Parish Hymn Book, 1875. [Rev. James Mearns]
