Mother of God
 作曲 : 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  you.
