God is a Spirit by Henry Thomas Smart — Lyrics
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
About God is a Spirit
Henry Thomas Smart’s anthem God is a Spirit sets words from the Gospel of John. The text opens by stating that God is Spirit, and that true worshippers must approach Him in spirit and in truth. The composer’s SATB setting is a direct and devotional musical response to this profound statement, emphasizing the spiritual nature of worship. The music unfolds with a sense of deep reverence, supporting the biblical text’s call for an authentic and heartfelt connection with the divine. This anthem is well-suited for services focusing on the nature of God and the practice of sincere devotion.
