Grant Us Peace was composed in memory of Pope John Paul II. The text was translated and adapted from the first acclamation of the final section of the Ordinary of the Catholic Mass, the Agnus Dei. ("Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis." and "Dona nobis pacem.")
Lamb of God, who takes away our sins,
who takes away the sins of the world,
have mercy and grant us peace. |
