This mass uses a Haydn-like cyclical construction by recalling the Kyrie theme in the Agnus Dei at the end of the mass . The 'Dona nobis pacem' of the "Agnus Dei" picks up the thematic material of the Kyrie, thus formally rounding off the whole work. Latin: Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis! Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem! English: Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us! Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us your peace.
