About Ch lieb dich, Herr, von Herzen sehr, SWV 114
Heinrich Schütz’s Ch lieb dich, Herr, von Herzen sehr, SWV 114 is a powerful setting for SATB choir. The text, taken from Psalm 18, expresses profound gratitude and trust in God's deliverance. It speaks of being surrounded by the pangs of death and the snares of the grave, yet finding refuge and strength in the Lord, who is described as one’s rock, fortress, deliverer, helper, protector, and savior. This sacred hymn would be fitting for occasions of thanksgiving and reflection, offering a moving devotional experience.
