Danct God den Heer I by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
1. Danct God den Heer seer goet ghepresen,
wiens goetheyt duert tot alder tijt,
spreect toch zijn lof wilt dancbaer wesen,
die zijt uut svyants hant ghevrijt.
Van hem verlost,
uut west, uut oost
heeft hyse wilhalen,
wanneer men haer
sach seer verdwalen,
al in dat dorre wout;
al wilden sij daer seer na talen,
sij en hebben daer gheen stadt ghebout.

About Danct God den Heer I
This Dutch hymn opens with a sense of joyful praise, the voices of the SAB choir weaving together to celebrate God. The text expresses profound gratitude for deliverance and guidance, recounting how God rescues those who call on Him in their distress and leads them onto the right path. It speaks of liberation from enemies and from wandering lost in a barren wilderness, culminating in a call for all creation to acknowledge God's goodness and understand His mighty deeds. The music reflects this message of hope and divine care, offering a setting that is both reverent and uplifting for a sacred occasion.
