Agnus Dei, dona nobis pacem2
Grant men the grace of a thousand angels
And to their pleas the supplication to fill giants.
Grant to them mercy, the gold of smooth waters
And the calm stride of stalwart stars.
Agnus Dei, not et mutamur3
To their perspirations grant reward eternal
And raise their tolerance above the patience of peoples.
Agnus Dei, qui tacet consentit4
Like great kings, may they dance
May withered women laugh at their youth.
Agnus Dei5
In the beginning, let there be light.
