Hoe schoon, hoe goet by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Hoe schoon, hoe goet, hoe wel ghedaen,
so is U huys vol eeren,
o God, o Heer der Heeren,
mijn siel is van haer selven ghegaen
als si dat wou begheeren.
Mijn hert tot God (wilt horen mijn),
met vruechden wort ghedronghen,
vrijmoedich onbedwongen,

About Hoe schoon, hoe goet
This motet, Hoe schoon, hoe goet, is a sacred work by André Vierendeels for SAB choir. Its Dutch text speaks of the beauty and goodness of God's house and altars, expressing a soul's longing and joyful devotion. The lyrics, drawing comparisons to a bird finding a nest for its young, convey a deep sense of peace and security found in God's presence. This piece would be appropriate for services focusing on the church as a spiritual home or for moments of thanksgiving. The text's heartfelt expression of praise and contentment makes it a fitting choice for congregational reflection.
