38, is a collection of three sacred motets based on Latin texts for mixed unaccompanied choir by Charles Villiers Stanford, comprising Justorum animae, Coelos ascendit hodie and Beati quorum via.

The works, some of Stanford's few settings of church music in Latin, have remained in the choral repertoire internationally and are performed in liturgies and concert.

[3] In a letter dated 18 November 1888, Stanford wrote to the publisher Novello of his interest in setting introits from the Catholic missal, which he felt were "admirably suitable and always lyrical (not didactic) in character".

[2] In Coelos ascendit hodie, Stanford set an Ascension hymn which is well known in German as "Gen Himmel aufgefahren ist" from the 14th century.

[2] Stanford set a paraphrase of the first verse of Psalm 119 in Latin, "Beati quorum via integra est, qui ambulant in lege Domini" (Happy are they that are upright in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD).

[6] The piece is in A-flat major and 3/4 time, marked Con moto tranqillo ma no troppo lento (In calm movement but not too slow).

[1] The three motets were recorded in 2012 by the Winchester Cathedral Choir, conducted by David Hill, in a collection of Stanford's sacred choral music.

They appeared, sung by the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, conducted by Stephen Layton, on a 2017 collection of choral music by Stanford.
