Jesus the Lord

Praise of the Son and meditation upon the Holy Name of Jesus is the core purpose of this song. Though with verses elaborating the Paschal mystery and the suffering of Jesus on the cross, it is especially appropriate on Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Christ the King. The simple choir progression of the refrain and expansive whole-note setting of the syllables of Jesus's name allow the congregation to reflect on His Holy Name and the nature of His sacrifice. It is scored for SAB choir with descant, keyboard, and guitar.
