LAMB OF GOD by Ahamefula Emerik — Lyrics
About LAMB OF GOD
Ahamefula Emerik's "Lamb of God" is a gentle, rhythmic setting of the Agnus Dei, written entirely in English. Set in 6/8 time, the music carries a natural, swaying momentum that fits the solemn yet hopeful moment of the fraction rite, when the priest breaks the Eucharistic bread at Mass.
The arrangement uses staggered vocal entries to build its plea for mercy. After the sopranos introduce the familiar opening lines, the lower voices echo the prayer before the whole choir unites to ask for peace. It is a straightforward, accessible piece that helps a congregation enter into the final moments of preparation before Communion.
