Die onbevlect hier by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Die onbevlect hier leven,
salich worden ghenaemt.
Die in Gods wet verheven,
hier gaen so dat betaemt,
salich tot allen stonden
die zijn ghetyughen zijn,
doer soecken en doergronden,
nae hem seer ghierich zijn.
Want al die boosneyt plegen,
met eenen valschen moet,
gaen niet int sheeren weghen,
heert u gheboden goet,

About Die onbevlect hier
This SAB setting of Die onbevlect hier opens with a gentle, devotional character, the voices weaving together in a pleasing harmony. The Dutch text, a sacred hymn, speaks of the blessed state of those who live according to God's law, seeking and understanding His ways. It contrasts this with those who practice wickedness, urging the listener to keep God's word always in their heart. The composer captures the earnest plea of the text, which asks for guidance to walk in righteousness and avoid shame, hoping to see God's commandments clearly even in this life.
