Glaub, Hoffnung seyn zwo Tugend gut II by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Glaub, Hoffnung seyn zwo Tugend Gut:
wann man die Lieb zu ihnen thut,
dann seyn sie nutz, dann seyn all drey,
hie ist vollkommenheit darbey:
zur Seligkeit die Liebe rend,
Glaub, Hoffnung auff der Welt sich wend.
Ei eingegossne Tugend ist die Lieb,
so unser Hertz durch frischt,
durch die wir Gott umb seiner will,
und den Rechten umb Gottes Will
zu lieben allerdings bereit,
zu unser Seelen Seligkeit.

About Glaub, Hoffnung seyn zwo Tugend gut II
André Vierendeels composed this sacred hymn for STB voices. The German text reflects on the virtues of faith, hope, and especially love. It posits that these virtues are most beneficial when accompanied by love, leading to perfection and salvation. The lyrics explore love as a divine gift that refreshes the heart, enabling us to love God for His own sake and our neighbor for God's sake. The text emphasizes that true knowledge of God is demonstrated through obedience to His commands, and that loving both God and neighbor in deed is the path to blessedness. The music likely provides a clear and devotional setting for these theological reflections.
