A fact from Ik sta voor U in leegte en gemis appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 September 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the melody of the Christian hymn "Ich steh vor dir mit leeren Händen, Herr" is written without bar lines, reflecting the singer's insecurity and questions?

Title

Why is a Dutch song presented in the English wikipedia under a German title? Is the German version in any respect more relevant or more received than the original? If not so, I suggest to move the article to the original title "Ik sta voor U in leegte en gemis" [1], [2]. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 10:03, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead, write about that, and move. I know the German, well, and speak no Dutch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:29, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I do not speak Dutch either, so I am hoping that the Dutch-speaking community may also contribute to this article on grounds of the astonishingly manifold Dutch sources. In the meantime I have amended the article mostly on the basis of the very profound Liederkunde article, and corrected some errors and shortcomings. This is not completed yet, the song's theological statements should be layed out in more detail and on the basis of the Dutch original. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 22:40, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
