BOGATZKY, KARL HEINRICH VON (1690-1774) , German hymn-writer, was born at Jankowe in Lower Silesia on the 7th of September 169o. At first a page at the ducal
court
  of Saxe-
Weissenfels

Halle
 ; but ill-
health
  preventing his preferment he settled at Glancha in Silesia, where he founded an orphanage. After living for a time at Kostritz, and from 1740 to 1745 at the
court

Halle

work
  and in composing hymns and sacred songs, until his death on the 15th of June 1774. Bogatzky's
chief
