The Dawn Breaking, the Light of the World

 
O Oriens,
splendor lucis aeternae, et sol justitiae:
veni, et illumina sedentes in tenebris, et umbra mortis.
O Morning Star,
splendour of light eternal and sun of righteousness:
Come and enlighten those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
 
Choir of Merton College, Oxford, composer Cecilia McDowell
