1547 - 1606 Hymnal Number: 390 Author of "Afvend fra os, o Herre mild" in M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg Moller, Martin, son of Dionysius Moller, mason at Liessnitz (now Kroptädt), near Wittenberg, was born at Liessnitz, Nov. 11, 1547. He attended the town school at Wittenberg and the gymnasium at Görlitz, but was too poor to go to any university. In 1568 he was appointed cantor at Löwenberg in Silesia, but in April, 1572, was ordained as pastor of Kesselsdorf, near Löwenberg. In the autumn of 1572 he was appointed diaconus at Löwenberg, in 1575 pastor at Sprottau, and in July, 1600, became chief pastor at Görlitz. He preached his last sermon, Oct. 30, 1605, and died at Görlitz, March 2, 1606 (Koch, ii. 211, iv. 552, &c). Moller's hymns appeared in his two very popular devotional books, (I) Meditationes sanctorumpatrum, Görlitz, 1584; pt. ii., Görlitz, 1591, and various later eds. This was mostly made up of meditations from St. Augustine, St. Bernard, and Tauler, selected and tr. into German by Moller. (2) Manuale de praeparatione ad mortem. Görlitz, 1593 [Library of the Prediger-Seminar at Hannover]. Wackernagel, v., Nos. 71-75, gives only 5 hymns under Moller's name. Of these No. 72 ("Heiliger Geist, du Tröster mein") is from “Veni Sancte Spiritus, et emitte " (q.v.), and No. 73, (“Nimm von uns Herr") from "Aufer immensam.” Two versions of the "Jesu dulcis memoria " have also often been ascribed to Moller, viz. "Ach Gott, wie manches Herzeleid", and, with less reason, "O Jesu süss, wer dein gedenkt." [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] ----John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
