Gods glory ende heerlijckheyt by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
1. Gods glory ende heerlijckheyt,
den hemel firmament,
sijn wercken ende maiesteyt
vertellen excellent.
Dit woert dit maect bekent
den eenen dach den ander,
die nachten oock malcander,
dees const thoonen present.

About Gods glory ende heerlijckheyt
The music opens with a dignified and stately character, the SAB voicing creating a rich texture. The Dutch text, Gods glory ende heerlijckheyt, speaks of God's glory and majesty, with the heavens and all creation testifying to his might. The lyrics express that the heavens and stars declare God's works and majesty, and that this message is proclaimed from one day to the next, and night after night, a constant, present demonstration of divine artistry. The second part of the text emphasizes that there is no speech or language where their voice is not heard, and their sound has gone out to all the ends of the earth, a powerful proclamation of God's word.
