Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt by Melchior Franck — 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 geliebt
Melchior Franck was a prolific composer of sacred music in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. This motet, Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt, sets a text drawn from the Gospel of John, which speaks of God's profound love for the world, demonstrated through the gift of his son, offering eternal life to believers. The setting is for SATB choir, blending the Latin biblical verses with their German translation. It is a powerful testament to the core tenets of Christian faith, expressing divine love and salvation in a grand, devotional manner suitable for church services.
