God so loved the world by John Goss — 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 God so loved the world
John Goss was a prominent English composer and organist, particularly associated with St Paul's Cathedral. This setting of the familiar words from the Gospel of John comes from his anthem "God so loved the world". It is written for SATB choir and sets the text in both Latin and English. The composer’s skill in crafting beautiful, resonant harmonies is evident throughout, creating a deeply devotional atmosphere. The music beautifully captures the profound message of divine love and salvation articulated in the scripture, making it a fitting choice for services or concerts seeking a contemplative and uplifting sacred work.
