I must recommend the piece "O Radiant Dawn" by Scottish composer James MacMillan, based on the words of the Advent Antiphon 'O Oriens'.

We have sinned, and are as an unclean thing,
and we all do fade as a leaf:
and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away;
thou hast hid thy face from us:

and we all do fade as a leaf:
and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away;
thou hast hid thy face from us:
and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
