This is a setting of the “Agnus Dei,” the liturgical hymn sung by the congregation as it prepares to receive Communion. The text draws the worshipers to reflect upon Christ’s sacrificial death, by which we have forgiveness and peace. We worship Christ as the Lamb of God, and are renewed in the fruit of his sacrifice as He comes to us in bread and wine, in body and blood.

This is part of the “Manchester Setting” of the liturgy. For additional liturgical songs, click here.
