Most liturgical texts for the Holy Eucharist in modern times omit this beautiful and penitent Latin prayer seeking mercy and peace through the Lamb that was slain.  This latin setting of the Agnus Dei is flowing text that brings new musical thought to the text.  Even in non-liturgical churches, this beautiful short anthem could be used as an Offertory Anthem or sung during Holy Communion.  
 
Please take a moment to listen to this piece and consider adding it to your choir’s repertoire.  I would label it as moderately easy for choirs that have no trouble singing major seconds.  For choirs not used to that, one might consider it moderately difficult.  The organ accompaniment is crafted to provide support to all parts including staggered entry throughout.

O Lamb of God, have mercy on us.
O Lamb of God, have mercy on us.
O Lamb of God, grant us peace.
