Es ist erschienen die heilsame Gnade Gottes, SWV 371 by Heinrich Schütz — Lyrics
Original spelling
Es ist erschienen die heylsame Gnade GOttes allen Menschen
und züchtiget uns, dass wir sollen verleugnen
das ungöttliche Wesen und die weltlichen Lüste,
und züchtig, gerecht und GOttselig leben in dieser Welt,
und warten auf die selige Hoffnung

About Es ist erschienen die heilsame Gnade Gottes, SWV 371
Heinrich Schütz’s motet Es ist erschienen die heilsame Gnade Gottes sets a profound text from the New Testament, exploring themes of divine grace, redemption, and righteous living. The German lyrics speak of God’s saving grace appearing to all people, calling them to renounce ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live a sober, righteous, and godly life while awaiting the glorious appearing of Jesus Christ. Schütz’s masterful setting for SSATB voices unfolds this message with rich polyphony and expressive harmonic language. This sacred motet is ideal for services during Advent and Epiphany, or for general occasions where the focus is on God's grace and the transformative power of faith. Its intricate vocal lines offer a rewarding challenge for a discerning choir.
