Agnus Dei Lyrics
[TENOR]
One ever hangs where shelled roads part
In this war He too lost a limb
But His disciples hide apart;
And now the Soldiers bear with Him
[Chorus]
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem
[TENOR]
Near Golgotha strolls many a priest
And in their faces there is pride
That they were flesh-marked by the Beast
By whom the gentle Christ's denied
[Chorus]
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem
[TENOR]
The scribes on all the people shove
And bawl allegiance to the state
[Chorus]
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi
[TENOR]
But they who love the greater love
Lay down their life; they do not hate
[Chorus]
Dona eis requiem
[TENOR]
Dona nobis pacem
