Ghi wout ghebenedyen

This moving Dutch hymn is suitable for moments of reflection and devotion. The text expresses a plea for God’s blessing and forgiveness, acknowledging past sins and seeking divine mercy. It speaks of God’s willingness to break His wrath and offer grace to those who pray for it. The composer André Vierendeels has set these earnest words for SAB choir, creating a devotional anthem that would resonate particularly well during penitential seasons or any service focusing on themes of repentance and reconciliation. The straightforward voicing makes it accessible for many church choirs.
