Texts of Dona Nobis Pacem
Movement 1
Agnus Dei qui tollis
peccata mundi Dona nobis pacem.
Lamb of God, you who take away the
sins of the world, grant us peace.
Movement 5
The Angel of Death has been abroad throughout the land;
you may almost hear the beating of his wings.
There is no one as of old…
to sprinkle with blood the lintel
and the two side- posts of our doors,
that he may spare and pass on.
‘Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. And none shall make them afraid, neither shall the sword go through their land. Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will go into them.
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled;
and let them hear, and say, it is the truth.
And it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues.
And they shall come and see my glory. And I will set a sign among them, and they shall
declare my glory among the nations.
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,
so shall your seed and your name remain for ever.’
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good-will toward men.
(Adapted from Micah 4:3; Leviticus 26:6; Psalms 85:10 and 118:19; Isaiah 43:9 and 66:18-22, and Luke 2:14)
Dona nobis pacem.
