Ghebenedijt mijn siel by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
1. Ghebenedijt
mijn siel altijt den Heer,
groot is zijn maiesteyt,
O God ghi zijt
ghecleet met groter eer,
u schoonheyt is verbreyt,
ghi zijt al met dat licht
ghecleet en soe ghesticht
dat ghi den hemelfijn
uutrect als een gordijn:
daer boven men water vijndt,
u waghens zijn
die wolcken, so schijnt
ghi wandert op den wijndt

About Ghebenedijt mijn siel
This devotional Dutch hymn, Ghebenedijt mijn siel, opens by praising God's majesty, clothed in light and splendor, with the heavens stretched out like a curtain above. The text then turns to God's creation, describing how He makes His angels like flames and forms the earth to last forever. The second verse continues this theme, detailing how God covered the depths and set foundations for the mountains and lands, all in response to His thunder. The SAB voicing makes this a fitting choice for a less experienced choir, allowing for a rich, accessible sound to convey the profound scriptural text. It is a sacred work that eloquently celebrates the power and glory of the divine through nature.
