The canon is a dialog between Saint Andrew and his soul. The ongoing theme is an urgent exhortation to change one’s life. Saint Andrew always mentions his own sinfulness placed in juxtaposition to God’s mercy, and uses literally hundreds of references to good and bad examples to “convince himself” to repent. ---- This chant was performed by Valaam Monastery choir, #Vaalam ---- Chant text in Church Slavonic : Душе моя, душе моя, восстани, что спиши? Конец приближается, и имаши смутитися. Воспряни убо, да пощадит тя Христос Бог, везде сый и вся исполняяй.
