Agnus Dei
Anuna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qui tollis peccata mundi
Miserere nobis
Agnus Dei
Qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona nobis pacem
The song "Agnus Dei" by Anuna is a Latin hymn that translates to "Lamb of God," often used in Christian worship. The first two lines of the song, "Agnus Dei, Qui tollis peccata mundi," can be translated to "Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world." In this context, the song is a plea for mercy and forgiveness, asking the Lamb of God to have compassion on us and grant us peace.
The repetition of the phrase "Miserere nobis" (have mercy on us) emphasizes the desperate and humble tone of the lyrics. The final line, "Dona nobis pacem" (grant us peace), serves as a hopeful plea for a resolution to the pain and suffering caused by sin. Overall, the song expresses a deep desire for redemption and reconciliation, and a trust in the transformative power of faith and grace.

As St. Paul described, we mortals perceive the eternal reality in a dark glass - its clouded reflection in a imperfect mirror. But in sublime art such as this, we are gifted with glimmers of the the original creation, perfect and pure and glorious.

One of my favorite songs! Use it as a lullaby for my 3 month old, I swear she falls asleep with a smile on her face.

Nine minutes never went by so quickly, nor so pleasantly. Thank you, as always, for the gift of peace that Anuna sends into our worlds.

I can't even describe the longing in this. It's like staring into a fire- but the flame is bright silver and infinitely purifying.
@brianbaumgarn5795
the mental picture you paint for the Agnus Dei, of staring into the fire while seeing silver is totally mesmerising and so on point. Anuna's music always holds me rapt with attention.
@matchboxmatt
Michael McGlynn’s work is so honest and divine. My number one favorite composer, hands down.
