Christus factus est in four voices, composed by Felice Anerio of the Roman School, disciple of St. Philip Neri

lyrics – taken from St. Paul’s Epistle to Philippians ii, 8-9

Christus factus est pro nobis obediens
usque ad mortem,
mortem autem crucis.
Propter quod et Deus exaltavit illum
et dedit illi nomen,
quod est super omne nomen.

translation to English

Christ became obedient for us unto death,
even to the death, death on the cross.
Therefore God exalted him
and gave him a name
which is above all names.
