Als de ziele luistert
 (Sung text for setting by G. Bachlund)
 Matches original text
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Als de ziele luistert
spreekt het al een tal dat leeft,
't lijzigste gefluister
ook een taal en teeken heeft:
blâren van de boomen
kouten met malkaar gezwind,
baren in de stroomen
klappen luide en welgezind,
wind en wee en wolken,
wegelen van Gods heiligen voet,
talen en vertolken
't diep gedoken Woord zoo zoet....
als de ziele luistert!
