Es seyn die heilgen Sacrament by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Es seyn die heilgen Sacrament,
sichtbarliche Zeichen genennt,
so von Gott selbsten ordinirt,
dardurch die Gnad empfangen wird,
deren seyn sieben an der Zahl,
dafür ich danck Gott tausendmal.
Der Tauff, die Confirmation,
das dritt Christi Fronleichnamb schon:
das vierdt die Busz mit rechter Biecht,
dan f¨nfft die letzte Oelung recht,
das sechste die Priesterweyh,
das siebend dann der Chest and sey.

About Es seyn die heilgen Sacrament
This sacred hymn, Es seyn die heilgen Sacrament, for STB voices, was composed by André Vierendeels. The German text is a contemplative exploration of the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church. It begins by describing them as visible signs instituted by God himself, through which grace is received. The composer sets this rich theological text with a clear, direct musical setting suitable for congregational singing or choir performance, likely during a service or devotional setting focused on the Eucharist and the sacraments. The music aims to enhance the solemnity and spiritual significance of the words.
