Mother Of God, Here I Stand

Mother Of God, Here I Stand - Voces8

Lyrics by：John Tavener/Mikhail Jurjewitsch Lermontov

Composed by：John Tavener

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
