Anfänglich nicht vergebens by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
About Anfänglich nicht vergebens
The German text of Anfänglich nicht vergebens speaks of God planting the tree of life in paradise as both sustenance and instruction. It continues, relating this to the tree given to the Church, rooted in Christ's teaching and faith, with hope as its trunk. The lyrics then explore the sacred and Catholic nature of this doctrine, referencing Peter's See and martyrs who testified to it with joy. This sacred hymn, set for STB voices, encourages steadfastness in faith and doctrine, drawing strength from the example of the fathers and shepherds.
