benjamin britten - agnus dei lyrics

Loading...

[tenor]
one ever hangs where sh-lled 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 n-bis pacem
