There are no text/lyrics; the File was generated purely for Choral Rehearsing purposes (using a published piano-reduction Score), and so doesn't look pretty even though it should sound reasonable (though that depends very much on your hardware/software; mine is a Soundblaster AWE64 Gold). Voice-emphasised Midi Files of the whole work can be downloaded for free from my Website (above).
The Site also contains Midi Files for several rather more modern Composers, for which NWC versions may be available.
There is an excellent performance of this Work by Guildford Cathedral Choir, directed by Barry Rose, on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdJjG8W6b3c and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YwmNS2J0JI
