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
