Ghenadighe Heere by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Ghenadighe Heere, mijn toeverlaet,
mijn hulper wilt doch wesen,
coemt haestelijck in mijn noot te baet,
Uwen naem moet zijn gepresen.
Te schande so moeten si zijn ghebracht,
bespot in allen hoecken,

About Ghenadighe Heere
The composer André Vierendeels sets a prayer to God in this sacred hymn. The Dutch text implores the Lord to be a merciful helper and refuge in times of need, asking for His swift assistance. It also expresses a desire for shame to befall those who seek to harm the singer's soul, praying that they be driven back and their honor turned to disgrace. This SAB setting offers a straightforward musical expression of supplication and a plea for divine protection against adversaries. The hymn is written using standard staff notation, making it accessible for choirs looking for meaningful repertoire with a devotional message.
