His very name, the name chosen by angels
given by the father, the branch of Jesse
given to the son, conceived by spirit,
born of the virgin, named Joshua,
Jesus, to save his people,
like the Joshua of old
a continuum in the name,
Emmanuel, with us still
a God of the living, born again
after the cross, the grave
Born in a manger, and in glory
humbled and now on high
