Di Heer van hemel by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
1. Di Heer van hemel riep ick aen,
uut allen minen diepen noot,
Mijn stem wilt horen en verstaen,
vooren bid ick, legt ie vloot.
Nae mijn ghebet,
en daer op let,
vroech ende spaey,
dat bid ick, Heer, om dijn ghenaey,
verhoort mijn stem sonder delaey.

About Di Heer van hemel
This Dutch hymn offers a heartfelt prayer to God. The opening verses express the singer's deep distress and plea for divine attention and understanding. The text acknowledges human sinfulness and the overwhelming burden it creates, yet it turns to God's unfailing mercy and faithfulness, expressing a hopeful anticipation of His intervention. This setting for SAB choir imbues the sacred words with a direct and earnest devotional quality, suitable for services seeking to express both penitence and trust. The simple yet profound message of reliance on divine grace makes it a moving choice for congregational singing or a contemplative choir piece.
