Er hat ausz lauter Gütigkeit by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Es hat ausz lauter Gütigkeit
Engel und Menschen in der Zeit,
die heiligste Dreyfaltigkeit,
erschaffen zu der Seligkeit,
drumb, O Mensch bekenne frey,
wie grosz dein Gott und Schöpffer sey.
O Göttlichs Bild, von Jugend auff,
zum Ziel deiner Eschaffung lauff.
Mit allen Englen Mensch erweisz,
deim Lieben Gott Dienst, Ehr, und Preysz,
zu solchem End, danckbar anwend,
Glaub, Hoffnung, Lieb und Sacrament.

About Er hat ausz lauter Gütigkeit
This sacred hymn for STB voices in German comes from the tradition of Lutheran hymnody. The text speaks of God's great goodness in creating angels and humans for salvation, urging the listener to acknowledge the greatness of their God and Creator. It further encourages believers to run towards their divinely appointed purpose, serving God with thanks, faith, hope, love, and the sacraments. A plea is made to follow Christ's teachings, which are described as a precious treasure leading to a heavenly place. The hymn concludes by alluding to judgment day.
