Sela Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Onze hulp en onze verwachting
is van God, onze Heer
Hij die alles maakte.
laat niet los wat Hij begon.

Genade en vrede van God, de Vader,
door Jezus, zijn Zoon, Immanuël.
Hij woont met zijn Geest in ons.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen!

Veni creator Spiritus




mentes tuorum visita,
imple corda nostra
