Hochzeitlied by Johannes Feyhl — Lyrics
1. Liebt den Herrn mit jedem Triebe,
liebt den Herrn aus aller Kraft;
zu fällt euch von selbst die Liebe,
die da Wonn' und Wunder schafft.
Hell geht auf der schöne Stern,
liebt ihr treu nur Ihn, den Herrn
2. Folgt dem Herrn, zu seinem Bilde
schauet auf nur fort und fort;
seine Demut, Treue, Milde
künde sich in Tun und Wort!
Nie erbleicht der schöne Stern,
folget nach ihr ihm, dem Herrn!

About Hochzeitlied
Johannes Feyhl's Hochzeitlied opens with a rich, homophonic texture, quickly developing into intricate contrapuntal interplay between the SATB voices. The German text, a sacred text, encourages steadfast love, devotion, and trust in the Lord through all circumstances. It speaks of the 'beautiful star' that shines brightly when one is faithful, and remains even when clouded by trials. The music mirrors this message, with soaring melodic lines and harmonically rich passages that evoke a sense of awe and deep spiritual commitment. The composer crafts moments of both gentle persuasion and powerful affirmation, making this a deeply moving work suitable for significant occasions.
