Es ist die Lieb by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Es ist die Lieb, so kommpt von Gott,
ihr Zeichen seyn die Zehn Gebott:
wann wie sie übertreten nit,
und wandlen in der Gnadenschrit,
wer leben will, kommen zu Gott,
der musz halten seine Gebott.
Erzeht mir dann diese Genott
welche führen zum höchsten Gott,
das erst und allergröst Gebott:
du solt glauben an einen Gott,
zum andern solt mit Forcht und Schramm,
nicht eytel nennen Gottes Namn.
