Lyrics

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi
Miserere nobis!
Miserere nobis!

[STREET CHORUS}
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi
Miserere nobis!
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi;
Dona nobis pacem!
Pacem! Pacem!

(spoken)
Hoc est enim Corpus Meum
Hic est enim Calix Sanguinis Mei!

(sung)
Dona … nobis … pacem …

(spoken)
Hostiam puram!

(sung)
Dona nobis pacem

Hostiam sanctam …
(sung)
Dona nobis pacem

Hostiam immaculatam …

Dona nobis pacem
Pacem! Pacem!

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi;
Dona nobis pacem!
Dona nobis pacem!
Pacem! Pacem!

Let us pray!

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi …
Miserere nobis

Non sum dignus, Domine
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi …
Miserere nobis

I am not worthy, Lord

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi!
Dona nobis pacem!

Corpus!

Pacem!

Calix!

Pacem! Pacem!
Dona nobis pacem!

Panem!
Dona nobis pacem!
Dona nobis, nobis pacem, pacem dona

We’re not down on our knees
We’re not praying
We’re not asking you please
We’re just saying:
Give us peace now and peace to hold on
To
And, God, give us some reason to want to!
Dona nobis
Dona nobis

You worked six days and rested on
Sunday
We can tear the whole mess down in one
Day
Give us peace now, and we don’t mean
Later
Don’t forget you were once our Creator!
Dona nobis
Dona nobis

We’ve got quarrels and qualms and such
Questions
Give us answers, not psalms and
Suggestions
Give us peace that we don’t keep on
Breaking
Give us something or we’ll just start taking!
Dona nobis
Dona nobis

We’re fed up with your heavenly silence
And we only get action with violence
So if we can’t have the world we desire
Lord, we’ll have to set this one on fire!
Dona nobis
Dona nobis

Pa … cem!
