You might take a look at Three sacred Songs by Joseph Jongen, and (if you have the budget for a cello or violin obbligato) Deus Abraham by the same composer.
Also, check out Dan Pinkham's music. He's written a ton of sacred solos -- including Three Latin Motets, Four Marian Antiphons, Three Canticles from Luke, and Three Alleluias. Some of these are catalogued as being for high voice, but looking at the music, I think an accomplished mezzo could do them comfortably. The tessitura looks pretty conservative to me. See what you think.
Marjorie Merryman has some sacred songs, if I remember correctly. Last I knew, she was on the faculty at Boston University.
Thomas Oboe Lee might have something too -- check out thomasoboelee.com -- he's a friend of mine; feel free to tell him I sent you.
