Hoort toe, ghi menschen by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Hoort toe ghi, menschen groot ende cleyn,
ghi allen die hier woont ghemeyn,
ghi rijcken metten armen,
mijn mont sal spreken openbaer
wijsheyt, end ooc mijn hert, voerwaer,
sal hem daer in verwarmen.
Tot een parabel en leering fijn,
sal ick mijn ooren neyghend' zijn,
mijn raetsel metter herpen

About Hoort toe, ghi menschen
André Vierendeels' sacred hymn Hoort toe, ghi menschen is set for SAB choir. The Dutch text opens by calling on all people, rich and poor alike, to listen to wisdom spoken from the heart. It speaks of listening intently to parables and teachings, of riddles and God's rejection of wickedness. The lyrics continue by warning against those who trust solely in their own strength, urging reconciliation before God and setting divine honour above personal power. Vierendeels' setting in Dutch brings this biblical message of humility and faith to life for a mixed-voice choir.
