Het aertrijck by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Het aertrijck met zijn overvloedichheyt,
hoort den Heere met die werelt seer playsant,
met alden menschen daer in verspreyt,
op dat water gheplant
heeft hi daertrijck vaelant
doer zijn groote hant.
Wie sal nu climmen op Gods berge fijn?
Wie sal staande bliven in zijn plaettse goet?
Dyen zijn handen hier onnosel zijn,

About Het aertrijck
André Vierendeels's Het aertrijck is a sacred motet for SAB choir. The text, sung in Dutch and Danish, explores themes of divine creation and the qualities of those who are righteous. The opening lines celebrate the abundance of the earth and its inhabitants, attributing all to the Lord. The subsequent verses pose questions about who may ascend to God's holy hill, describing the virtuous individual as pure in heart, honest in action, and free from deceit. The motet concludes by emphasizing the blessings and mercy bestowed by God upon the righteous, reinforcing themes of divine justice and reward.
