ART In ecclesiastical art, an Agnus Dei is a representation of Jesus as a lamb bearing a Cross . It is also a tablet of wax stamped with a representation of Jesus as a lamb bearing a Cross , then blessed. LITURGY In the liturgical form (with translation) is: :Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. :Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. :Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem. :Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. :Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. :Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace. This litany is spoken or sung during the Rite of Fraction and Commingling. In a Requiem Mass , the words "dona nobis pacem" are replaced by "dona eis requiem" (give them rest). It is also appended to many of the Church's litanies. In the Church Of England , it is acceptable for the "Agnus Dei" to be sung in English by the choir during the administration of Holy Communion , provided that the reception of the elements is not delayed till its conclusion. MUSIC This liturgical text has been set to music by many composers, usually as part of a Mass Setting , but sometimes it stands alone, e.g. it is the text to Samuel Barber 's choral arrangement of his Adagio For Strings . Agnus Dei is also the name of several other songs, which may not have the traditional words:
