"WILT HEDEN NU TREDEN" - "WE GATHER TOGETHER" a response to my friends in Hongkong, a Christian song

I just wanted to do this for you, as a response to your song, dear 88yp88yp + choir. I enjoyed so much that you sent this song to me in your language and so I thought this would be a nice videoresponse for you.
My voice is not so very well at the moment, but so be it. It is a tough song also, maybe a little too high, but I wanted to sing it in the same pitch as you did, so I did! I say hello to you all!

I hope you like it, at least the intention!

Much love from your friend Roeleke :-)

These are the lyrics:

Wilt heden nu treden voor God, den Heere,
Hem boven al loven van harte zeer,
En maken groot zijns lieven namens eere,
Die daar nu onzen vijand slaat terneer.

Ter eeren ons Heeren wilt al uw dagen
Dit wonder bijzonder gedenken toch.
Maakt u, o mensch, voor God steeds wel te dragen,
Doet ieder recht en wacht u voor bedrog!

Bidt, waket en maket, dat gin bekoring
En t kwade met schade toch niet en valt.
Uw vroomheid brengt den vijand tot verstoring,
Al waar zijn rijk nog eens zoo sterk bewald!

The english translation of this song =

We Gather Together
We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing,
Sing praises to His name: He forgets not his own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side, All glory be thine!

We all do extol thee, thou leader triumphant,
And pray that thou still our defender wilt be.
Let thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

My dear friend Chuck, thank you so much my friend! You know, when we sing this in churches, we just sing it, but when you sing this on your own (at least me) it is really hard to sing these songs. But that doesn't stop me, haha!

Big hug for my friend! Roeleke :-)
