Anna Lapwood, Cambridge, The Chapel Choir of Pembroke College and The Pembroke College Girls’ Choir - Mother of God

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.

Written by:
Mikhail Lermontov, Sir John Tavener
