It was written by Australian Roman Catholic priest and liturgist Fr Frank Andersen MSC.
It was originally published in the "Everything I Possess" collection, which was renamed Galilee Song, and so is included in the Scripture in Song - The Music of Frank Andersen MSC collection, which is still available. Both of there include lead-sheet style sheet music.
The tune was written by Fr Andersen: it is in a minor key (Em in the original printing), with a 6:8 time signature. The tune is in two parts which seem like a chorus / verse structure - although there are different words for each version of the chorus.

Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:His state was divine, his gift was himself.
Poured out for us he became like us
And was more humble still even accepting death,
Death on a cross.
1 God raised him high giving him that name
That goes beyond all names: Jesus, the Lord.
2. Let every voice proclaim in joy:
Jesus is Lord. Glory to God.
