In God is al mijn toeverlaet by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
God is al mijn toeverlaet
en mijn be trouwen in hem staet,
waer om wilt ghi mi terghen?
En segghen mijn siele met woerden quaet,
wilt vlieghen tot die berghen.
Die sondaers spanden haer boghen snel,
haer pijlen si bereyden fel,
om te schieten, ente deeren.
