Here is an mp3 of the Lauds hymn beginning on Invocavit (Lent 1) and sung each day until Lent 3, from the Lutheran Liturgical Prayer Brotherhood's "Seasonal Propers Sung." They call it "O Kind Creator." Invocavit, BTW, is the (Latin) opening word of the Introit for Lent 1, "He shall call upon Me."
This hymn is called Audi, benigne Conditor (O Merciful Creator, Hear!) at TPL, and there is a different set of words there. Here's their description of the hymn:

Attributed to Pope St. Gregory the Great (540-604). In the Roman Breviary this hymn is used in its entirety for Matins from the first Sunday in Lent until the Saturday before Passion Sunday. Today the hymn is still used, but from Ash Wednesday until the Fifth Sunday of Lent and it is broken into two hymns. The first half, Ex more docti mystico, is used for the Sunday Office of the Readings. The second half, Precemur omnes cernui is used for Sunday Lauds. Both those hymns conclude with the final verse as found below.

re 'et more docti mystico' sadly the link is broken and I need to be reminded of the chant for matins at this time of year!
Thanks. It's fixed now.
