Every knee should bow in heaven, on earth and under the earth. Part of my understanding of today's Gospel is part of Mark's purpose is to show who Jesus is and that he is acknowledge by heaven, the world and the underworld - the latter coming to the fore today. It was only when deciding which verses of the last hymn to sing that it struck for the first time that At the name of Jesus though a paraphrase of Philippians does not refer to the underworld.
The hymns mixed this acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord and Jesus the healer — someone worth listening to. Jesus the Word was Jesus revealed as Lord and in someways the text is Johannine in feel. I did a simple two part arrangement based on a French edition I found on IMSLP.
