Viel schöner Künst und Gaben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Viel schöner Künst und Gaben,
schenkt Gott uns Menschenkind,
darvon wir Freude haben,
die Ehre Gott geziemt.

Die Musikkunst,
die Singekunst,
hat Preis und Gunst,
denn sie gibt Freud und Wonne.

Lieblicher Gsang,
schön Saitenklang
ist aller Künst ein Krone.
