A Refuge amid Distraction
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →The Agnus Dei is an ancient Christian liturgical text, first added to the Western Mass around 700 AD, petitioning Christ as the Lamb of God for mercy and peace. It is traditionally sung during the distribution of communion.
Like an ant on a stick both ends of which are burning,
I go to and fro without knowing what to do,
and in great despair.
Like the inescapable shadow
that follows me,
the dead weight of sin
haunts me.
Graciously look upon me.
Thy love is my refuge. Amen.
