Ick heb gheroepen tot U by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Ick heb gheroepen tot U, o Heer,
verhoort doch mijn verlanghen,
end op mijn stem wilt letten seer,
mijn roepen wilt ontfanghen.
Mijn ghebet laet zijn als eenen roock,
voer U aensicht ghepresen,

About Ick heb gheroepen tot U
The composer André Vierendeels sets a profound Dutch text in this sacred work. The opening words, "Ick heb gheroepen tot U, o Heer" (I have cried unto Thee, O Lord), immediately establish a tone of earnest supplication. The text continues, imploring God to hear the singer's desires and accept their prayers, likening their raised hands to an evening sacrifice. The music is arranged for SAB voices, offering a straightforward yet expressive setting suitable for congregational singing or a choir seeking a reflective piece. It is a hymn that calls for a direct and heartfelt delivery, focusing on the personal relationship between the supplicant and the divine.
