Als die Heer verkeeren wou by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Als die Heer verkeeren wou die banden der ghevanghen.
Daer Syon me met groten rou ghevanghen was,
man ende vrou hebben wij vruecht ontfanghen.
Doen soe is vervult gheweest met blischap boven maten,

About Als die Heer verkeeren wou
This sacred motet in Dutch speaks of God's intervention when Zion was held captive. The text expresses profound joy and relief at being freed from bondage, with mouths, tongues, and spirits filled with gladness and fearlessness because God has come to their aid. It foretells how the pagans on earth will remember this mighty act, recognizing that the Lord has done great things, sustaining them as they desired. Composed for SAB choir, André Vierendeels' setting brings this devotional text to life through its devotional and celebratory character.
