Es ist die Lieb so kommpt von Gott by Georg Vogler — Lyrics
Es ist die Lieb, so kommpt von Gott,
ihr zeichen seyn die zehn gebott:
Wann wir sie übertreten nit,
und wandlen in der Gnaden Schrit.
Wer leben will, kommen zu Gott,
der musz halten seine Gebott.
Erzeht mir dann diese Genott
welche führen zum höchsten Gott.
Das erst und aller gröst Gebott:
Du solt glauben an einen Gott.

About Es ist die Lieb so kommpt von Gott
The two-part texture of this sacred hymn allows for a close interplay between the soprano and bass voices. The German text explores the nature of divine love and its connection to the Ten Commandments. It emphasizes that true faith and righteous living are achieved through adherence to God's laws, offering guidance on how to approach the divine. The music likely reflects the solemn and devotional character of the lyrical subject matter, with the voices supporting the message of spiritual commitment and the importance of divine commandments.
