An anthem for choir and organ on a paraphrase of the passage from Paul’s letter to the Phillipians which describes the dual nature of Christ – both human and divine.

Text

Name above all earthly names, is the name of Jesus
form of God in servant form, born in human likeness;
not equality is grasped, but is emptied unto self;
humbled unto death obedient,
even death upon a cross.

Name above all earthly names, is the name of Jesus
humble servant, mighty Lord, God enthroned in heaven;
every knee is called to bow, in all creation’s realms;
every tongue is called, called to confess,
Christ is Lord, Lord forever.

Glory be to God the Father
and to Jesus Christ the Lord.

– Phillipians 2:5–11
