Das ander heilig Sacrament by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Das ander heilig Sacrament
der Firmung allzeit war genennt:
in welchem der getauffte Christ
durch Gotes Geist nur stärcker ist
und alererst anfangt zu seyn
ein Riegsmann in Christlicher Gmein.
Sein Matern der Ehrnsam ist,
nutz Oel und Balsam eingemischt:
vom Bischoff herzlich consecrirt,
bedeut Göttliches Geistes Ziert
so den Gefirmbten wird geleist
durch innwohnnenden Gnaden Geist.

About Das ander heilig Sacrament
This German sacred hymn setting by André Vierendeels for STB choir explores the Sacrament of Confirmation. The text speaks of how this sacrament strengthens the baptized Christian through God's Spirit, making them a stronger member of the church. It elaborates on the ritual elements, such as the oil and balsam, and their symbolic meanings related to the Holy Spirit and the perfection of the faithful. The music would suit occasions emphasizing the sacraments or the spiritual growth of believers within the Christian community.
