keeps them awake.
Nobody dares to take a look.

If only the little one would still be here..
she was just like Grandma.

“But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first”, Matthew 19:30.



This music is not mine.


Gospel hymn: 'Heer ik hoor van Rijke Zegen'
Original English title: 'Even me' (dated 1862).

Music: William Batchelder Bradbury (1816-1868).
Words: Mrs. Elizabeth Harris Codner (1824-1919).
Dutch translation: Meier Salomon Bromet (1839-1905).

The Dutch words:
'Heer! Ik hoor van rijke zegen, die Gij uitstort keer op keer;
laat ook van die milde regen, dropp'len vallen op mij neer;
ook op mij, ook op mij, dropp'len vallen ook op mij.

Ga mij niet voorbij, o Vader, zie hoe mij mijn zonden smart;
trek met Uw koorden nader, stort Uw liefd' ook in mijn hart.
Ook in mij, ook in mij, stort Uw liefd' ook in mij.

Ga mij niet voorbij, o Herder! Maak mij gans van zonden vrij;
vloeit de stroom van zegen verder, zegen and'ren, maar ook mij.
Ja, ook mij, ja ook mij, zegen and'ren, maar ook mij'.

I know for sure that this track is from the 'Den Hertog Jubileum CD', but that's all I know. So if anyone can please fill me in on that missing information?
