LYRICS:
O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the whole earth.
Sing unto the Lord, and praise his Name: be telling of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his honour unto the heathen: and his wonders unto all people.
For the Lord is great, and cannot worthily be praised: he is more to be feared than all gods.
As for all the gods of the heathen, they are but idols: but it is the Lord that made the heavens.
Glory and worship are before him: power and honour are in his sanctuary.
Ascribe unto the Lord the honour due unto his Name: bring presents, and come into his courts.
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: let the whole earth stand in awe of him.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: for he cometh to judge the earth.
(from Psalm 96)
Veni Creator Spiritus,
Mentes tuorum visita:
Imple superna gratia
Quae tu creasti pectora.
(Come Creator Spirit,
Visit the minds of your people:
Fill with your divine grace
Their hearts.)
(9th-century hymn)

Great piece, wonderful energy. To my personal taste some of the harmonically dense chords would have needed less vibrato of the singers to draw a clearer picutre of the ongoing harmonies, but again, that's a question of personal taste.
