Olivier Messiaen
Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum (1964)
1. From the depths of the abyss, I cry out to you, Lord: Lord, hear my voice!
2. Christ, risen from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.
3. The hour is coming when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God...
4. They will rise again, glorious, with a new name – in the joyful concert of the stars and the acclamations of the sons of heaven.
5. And I heard the voice of a great multitude...
