Agnus Dei

Achinye Christopher's setting of the "Agnus Dei" offers a gentle, straightforward choral prayer for the breaking of the bread. Sung in Latin, the short phrases allow the choir to lead the congregation in a solemn plea for mercy and peace just before Communion, keeping the focus entirely on the Eucharistic sacrifice.

The manuscript also includes the classic English hymn "O Worship the King" written out in solfa notation below the Mass part. With its majestic verses praising the "Ancient of Days" and marveling at the wonders of creation, this hymn provides a robust, joyful contrast to the quiet Lamb of God, making it an excellent choice for an entrance or recessional procession.
