About Hino a São Geraldo
This is a unison hymn in Portuguese, composed by João Baptista Lehmann. The music is direct and devotional, aiming to inspire strength and resolve in its singers. The text is a fervent prayer, calling upon Saint Gerard (São Geraldo) and Saint Joseph (São José) for spiritual fortitude. It speaks of combating 'heretical and perfidious people' and restoring Christ to the world. The hymn expresses a desire for victory in spiritual battles and invokes the aid of Mary as well. Its character is one of resolute faith and communal petition for divine assistance in upholding religious ideals.
