Carl Doving was a Norwegian hymn translator and church musician active in the 20th century. Born in 1909, he contributed to the preservation and dissemination of Christian hymns through translation work, facilitating the sharing of hymnic traditions across linguistic boundaries. His translations helped bridge Norwegian and other European hymnic repertoires, making sacred music more accessible to Norwegian-speaking congregations. Doving's work reflects the broader 20th-century ecumenical movement's emphasis on hymnic exchange and cultural preservation within Protestant traditions.
