Music Monday: Pie Jesus

I’ve been listening to a lot of Future of Forestry. They’re surprisingly diverse in their musical choices. Here’s their rendition of “Pie Jesu”:

Pie Jesu, pie Jesu, pie Jesu, pie Jesu
Merciful Jesus, merciful Jesus, merciful Jesus, merciful Jesus

Qui tollis peccata mundi
Father, who takes away the sins of the world

Dona eis requiem, dona eis requiem
Grant them rest, grant them rest

Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei
Lamb of God, Lamb of God, Lamb of God, Lamb of God

Sempiternam requiem
Everlasting peace
