John Tavener's God Is With Us - not a Lenten piece, but still a sublime choral work by the late Orthodox composer. 

God is with us. 
Hear ye people, even to the uttermost end of the earth. 
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great 
Light. 
The people that dwells in the shadow of death, 
the light has shined.
For unto us a child is born! For unto us it is his given! 
And the government shall be upon his shoulder. 
And his name is called Wonderful! 
Counselor! The Mighty God!
