Song Cycle by Florent Schmitt (1870 - 1958)

1. Hymne à Saint Nicolas te Lorraine
 (Sung text)

Language: Latin 
Tanta quae virtus tua, Nicolae,
Transtulit nomen geminos ad axes?
Sol tuos surgens videt, occidensque
  Semper honores.

Summa laus Patri, tibi summa Nate,
Cujus aeternum bene Nicolaus
Vindicat numen tibi, par, 
  Superni nexus amoris.

3. De Profundis
 (Sung text)

Language: Latin 
1 Canticum graduum.
  De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
  Fiant aures tuæ intendentes 
  in vocem deprecationis meæ.
 ... 
Speravit in Domino anima mea.
 ... 
Quia apud Dominum misericordia,
  et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
