God so loved the world by John Stainer — 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 Stainer’s God so loved the world is an anthem of deep spiritual resonance. The text, drawn from the Gospel of John, articulates a profound message of divine love and salvation. It speaks of God’s sacrifice of His only Son, not for judgment, but so that the world might be saved through Him, offering eternal life to all who believe. Stainer sets this weighty scripture in both Latin and English, allowing for a breadth of liturgical use. The work is arranged for SATB and ATBB choirs, offering a rich choral sound to convey the immensity of the message. It is a powerful statement of faith, suitable for services focusing on themes of love, redemption, and eternal life.
