I would like to hear it again with the vocals a bit louder, they got a bit drowned by the choir, but it was a good, inspiring song, with full credit to Mr Martin

Yes, it's good. I like the poem, it was good orchestrated (is that what you call it? arranged for orchestra and choir), good singers.
Good!

Invictus By William Ernest Henley Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. link Poetry Foundation

Yes it's a 19th century poem. I meant to post this video but apparently I forgot:

They like to write and sing about themes of war it seems?
