• Mother of God, Here I Stand

Mother of God, here I stand now praying,
Before this icon of your radiant brightness,
Not praying to be saved from a battlefield,
Not giving thanks, nor seeking forgiveness
For the sins of my soul, nor for all the souls.
Numb, joyless and desolate on earth,
But for her alone, whom I wholly give you.

Text: Mikhail Lermontov
Music: John Tavener
Performed by Clari Cantus choir (Belgium)
