There are no text/lyrics; these Files were generated purely for Choral Rehearsing purposes (using a published piano-reduction Score), and so don't look pretty even though they should sound reasonable (though that depends very much on your hardware/software; mine is a Soundblaster AWE64 Gold).
My Website (above) 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 the London Symphony Chorus, under Richard Hickox, on YouTube starting <A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=.....NdRiiA2VZMwCV3p8
