Das dritte heilig Sacrament by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Das dritte heilig Sacrament,
desz zarten fronleichsamms genennt,
ein Dancksagung und gute Gab,
ein Gemeinschafft Genad und Haab,
ein Sacrament Friedens und Lieb,
gleichwol bringt es den Käizern Krieg.
Drey Ding darbey bedeutet seyn:
desz Herzen Leyden, Creutz und Peyn.
Die gegenwertig Göttlich Gnad,
so die Seel speist. Das dritt die Saat
und Frucht die in dem Himmel viel,
Gott ausz Verheisz uns geben will.

About Das dritte heilig Sacrament
This STB setting of a German sacred text explores the profound theological significance of the Holy Sacrament, also known as the Corpus Christi. The music moves with a reflective solemnity, its three voices weaving together to express the devotional nature of the hymn. The text speaks of the sacrament as a gift of grace, a communion of peace and love, and a sacrifice that brings spiritual sustenance. It further elaborates on the symbolism within the sacrament, linking it to Christ's suffering, divine grace, and the heavenly rewards promised to believers. The composer's setting brings a contemplative quality to this rich liturgical expression.
