God is mijn licht by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
God is mijn licht, mijn salichheyt,
voer wien sal ick beven?
Voor wie sal ic scromen Gods maiesteyt,
die wil beschermen mijn leven,
wanneer op mi versellen,
die bose mijn vleysch te vernielen,
mijn vyande die me quellen
als rebellen,
men sach hoe sij vielen.
Als quam tot mi een heyr seer groot,
gheen vrees en sal my nopen,
al waert een strijt al totter doot,
daer in soe sal ic hopen.

About God is mijn licht
This SAB setting of God is mijn licht by André Vierendeels is a hymn taken from a sacred tradition. The Dutch text expresses confidence in God's protection against enemies and a desire to dwell in God's house, seeking to see His will and visit His temple. The composer's work often draws on established forms and this setting is no exception, providing a reassuring and devotional musical experience. The text speaks of faith in the face of adversity, highlighting themes of divine guidance and sanctuary. It is a piece that would lend itself well to services or concerts with a devotional focus, offering a moment of reflection and spiritual assurance for both choir and congregation.
