Agnus Dei  – Latin liturgy and the Vulgate Bible

Scio enim quod Redemptor meus vivit;
Agnus Dei, Princeps Pacis.

Agnus Dei,
qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem
Requiem sempiternam.

Miserere nobis, Deus
Miserere mei, Deus

si dixerimus quoniam peccatum non habemus ipsi
nos seducimus et veritas in nobis non est
si confiteamur peccata nostra fidelis est et iustus ut
remittat nobis peccata
et emundet nos ab omni iniquitate

et ipse est propitiatio pro peccatis
Non pro nostris autem tantum
sed etiam pro totius mundi

Agnus Dei, Christe Jesu, Princeps Pacis
Dona nobis Pacem

translation

For I know that my Redeemer lives;

Lamb of God, Prince of Peace.

O Lamb of God,
Who takes away the sins of the world,
Grant them rest,
Eternal rest.

Have mercy on us, O God.
Have mercy on me, O God.

If we claim to be without sin,
we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will
forgive us our sins  and purify us from all unrighteousness.

He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,
not only for ours
but also for the sins of the whole world.

O Lamb of God, Christ Jesus, Prince of Peace,

Grant us Peace.
