Ick sal u Heer lief hebben by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
1. Ick sal u Heer lief hebben seer,
mijn vastichheyt ghepresen,
mijn firmament daer ick toe keer,
mijn verlosserr sal hy wesen.
Hi is mine God dyen ick betrou,
mijn beschermer na mijn verlanghen,
mijn salighe hoorn in minen rou,
alst niet en is soot wesen sou,
so can hy mi ontfanghen.

The singer cries out to the Almighty, finding solace and salvation in Him. This SAB setting of the sacred text provides a clear and accessible arrangement for choirs. The composer André Vierendeels captures the devotional spirit of the hymn with earnest and direct musical language, making it suitable for services where congregational participation is encouraged or as a reflective anthem.
