"Mu süda, ärka üles / Awake, My Heart" (Cyrillus Kreek) - Estonian TV Girls' Choir

"Mu süda, ärka üles / Awake, My Heart" is an Estonian folk hymn arranged by Cyrillus Kreek (1889-1962), with text by Paul Gerhardt. The score is sung in a specially commissioned version from Virre for treble choir and instruments by the Estonian TV Girls Choir, Aarne Saluveer, artistic director, for the 2004 Estonian Song Celebration.

Awake, my heart, and praise the Lord singing;
The one who gives us all that is good and helps carry our burdens.
My Lord, at night your hand was holding me;
Carry me through the day, and send your angels to shelter me.
Help me in my work and show me what is right;
I trust you will care for whatever I undertake to do.
Let your loving-kindness be my life, my heart a temple of yours.
May your word feed me here on earth and show me the way to heaven.
