Also hat Gott die Welt geliebet by Hugo Distler — Lyrics
Sic [enim] Deus dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret: ut
omnis qui credit in eum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam.
[Alleluia.]

About Also hat Gott die Welt geliebet
Hugo Distler, a significant composer of the German sacred music revival, crafted this motet for SAB voices. The text is drawn from the Gospel of John, beginning with the famous verse "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son." Distler sets this profound message of divine love and salvation, interspersed with Alleluias, in both Latin and German. The work is a powerful expression of faith, suitable for services or concerts where a rich, devotional sound is desired. Its straightforward yet evocative setting captures the enduring significance of the scripture it employs.
