Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. (2) Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.

Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world, grant us peace.

1. Adoro te devote, latens Deitas,

quae sub his figuris vere latitas:

tibi se cor meum totum subjicit,

quia te contemplans totum deficit.

2. Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur,

sed auditu solo tuto creditur;

credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius:

nil hoc verbo Veritatis verius.

1. Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore,

Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more,

See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart Lost,

all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

2. Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived:

How says trusty hearing? that shall be believed;

What God's Son has told me, take for truth I do;

Truth himself speaks truly or there's nothing true.
