Agnus Dei

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,

dona eis requiem.

Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time

to live, and is full of misery.

He cometh up, and is cut down like a flower;

he fleeth as it were a shadow.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,

dona eis requiem.

In the midst of life, we are in death:

of whom may we seek for succour?

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,

dona eis requiem.

I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord:

he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
