This is a project where the originally in Dutch written songs (and more) from the Dutch bundle of songs , called 'Geestelijke liederen' ('Spiritual songs') will be presented here in singable English. It is the English (translation or repoet) variant of what is presented here. George van Popta will be the one who will mainly translate or repoet the Dutch lyrics (or use a text he already made on that melody) so the Dutch hymns will be turned into singable English versions. I (Gertim Alberda) will focus mainly on the musical settings, which will be settings from my GL-GTA revised bundle of songs. To see them in Dutch, click on the flag (top left).

The number you enter should (of course) be in the table below, or it will give a 404 error.
