George Neumarck
The Court of Prussia was not the only one at which religious poetry was cultivated. At that of Weimar, the [189]duke who had been a famous general in the Thirty Years' War was a good hymn-writer, and so was his librarian, [190]George Neumarck, the author of one of the best known and finest of the German hymns, "[191]Leave God to order all thy ways." [28]
