Bartholomäus Crasselius
Bartholomäus Crasselius (Crasselt) (21 February 1667 - 10 November 1724) was a German Lutheran pastor and hymnwriter.
He produced a wealth of hymns, ten of which were published in Anastasius Freylinghausen's 1704 Geist-reiches Gesang-Buch. The Evangelisches Gesangbuch also includes his 1695 hymn "Dir, dir, o Höchster, will ich singen" (EG 328) – its first line originally ran "Dir, dir, Jehova, will ich singen", though "Jehova" was later revised to "Höchster".
