Gomer (Gommer) de Metser (Gomer the mason), in the records called Gommare de Clercq, was an Anabaptist martyr, a mason by trade. He was a native of Lier in Brabant. He was arrested in Antwerp and put to death there on 1 February 1560, together with Pedro de Soza and Jacob Schot. They were executed by drowning in a tub, a method ordinarily used only for women. Gomer remained steadfast. He is celebrated in the song "Aenhoert Godt hemelsche Vader" (Hear, O God, heavenly Father), found in the Liedtboecxken van den Offer des Heeren, No. 16.
