Cyrillus Kreek: Mu süda ärka üles
Collegium Musicale Chamber Choir; Jaak Sooäär, electric guitar; Endrik Üksvärav, Conductor

Awake, my heart, and praise the Lord singing. The one who gives us all that good and helps us carry our burdens. At night, my Lord, your hand was holding me. Do carry me through the day, and send angels to shelter me. Help me in my work. Show me what is right. I’ll leave to you to care for whatever I undertake. Your loving kindness will be my lot. My heart a temple of Yours. May your word here feed me, and show me the way to heaven.
