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
