You may want to look at the bass solos from Mendelssohn's ELIJAH - there
are several of them - my favourites are "Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and
Israel" and "For the mountains shall depart".
Another possibility might be the aria "The people that walketh in
darkness" from part I of Handel's MESSIAH.
Since you're a choral singer, I'm going to presume that you may be
comfortable singing in Latin, even though you're not comfortable with
other foreign languages. If this is true, you might also look at the aria
"Quia fecit mihi magna" from Bach's MAGNIFICAT IN D (BWV 243).

The ones I love are incapable of ill will, and return love for hatred....
[They] who serve both friend and foe with equal love....Such as these
are dear to me. [Bhagavad Gita, Chap. 12]
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate
you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that
ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven. [Matt. 5:44-48]
