This one is among my favourites, entitled "Cantique de Jean Racine", by Gabriel Fauré. 



These are the lyrics in English:

Word of God, one with the Most High, 
in whom alone we have our hope,
Everlasting light of heaven and earth,
We break the silence of the peaceful night;
Saviour divine, cast thine eyes upon us!

Pour on us the fire of thy mighty grace,
That all hell may flee at the sound of thy voice:
Banish the slumber of a weary soul,
That brings forgetfulness of thy laws!

O Christ, look with favour upon thy faithful people
Now gathered here to praise thee;
Receive their hymns offered to thy endless glory;
May they go forth filled with thy gifts.

May they go forth filled with thy gifts.
