Columbus by Stephen Jenks — Lyrics
1. Let party names no more
The Christian world o’erspread,
Gentile and Jew, and bond and free
Are one in Christ their head.

About Columbus
Stephen Jenks’s Columbus is a sacred anthem for SATB choir. The text, in English, speaks of Christian unity, transcending divisions of creed or social standing to find common ground in Christ. It calls for mutual love among believers on earth, recognizing them as heirs to the same heavenly inheritance. The music likely reflects this message of spiritual equality and fellowship, offering a reflective and unifying expression of faith for a choir and congregation. This setting provides a thoughtful opportunity to explore themes of community and shared devotion within a sacred context.
