Agnus Dei, which means “Lamb of God,” is said during the Mass when the Host is broken. It comes from a Syrian custom and was first used in the Roman Rite Mass by Pope Sergius I (687–701).
The fifth item in the Mass, Agnus Dei comes from John 1:29 and is often used during communion. Along with the Kyrie, Credo, Gloria, and Sanctus, this chant remains an integral part of the Mass.
Latin:
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.
