Coridon lest op de waecke by Jan Van der Wielen — Lyrics
Coridon lest op de waecke
hoord' een lieffelijke stem,
't docht hem sijn een enghels spraeke
die al soetjes riep tot hem,
sa comt herders bij het kint,
siet hoe Jesus u bemint.
Comt wilt in den stal gaen soecken,

About Coridon lest op de waecke
A charming Christmas carol in Dutch, Coridon lest op de waecke tells the story of a shepherd hearing a heavenly voice calling him to see the infant Jesus. The text describes the humble setting of the Nativity – the child in a manger, in the cold north wind, within a stable – and urges the listener to come and praise their Creator, King, and God. This SATB setting by Jan Van der Wielen offers a delightful opportunity for choirs to explore a beautiful carol from the sacred Christmas tradition, bringing the wonder of the Nativity to life through its evocative Dutch lyrics.
