Agnus Dei
Language: Multiple Languages  after the Latin 
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.
