Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt, SWV 380 by Heinrich Schütz — 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, SWV 380
Heinrich Schütz’s Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt offers a profound musical setting of a familiar passage from the Gospel of John. The text speaks of God's love for the world, demonstrated through the gift of his only Son, with the promise of eternal life for those who believe. Schütz masterfully crafts this sacred motet for SATTB voices, weaving together the Latin and German texts to emphasize the divine message. The composer's expressive style brings out the deeply comforting and hopeful nature of the scripture, making it a powerful devotional experience for choirs and listeners alike.
