Do You Know The Name Of This Prayer? Amus Stayis?

[RastaPasta]

Hello:

In the parish that I go to, during the morning Mass they sing a prayer right after saying “Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof etc.”. It’s sung in Latin, and it’s right before you kneel down.

Someone told me it was the Amus Stayis or Omustayis or something like that. I’ve been trying to find it on the Internet, but I suspect that I am spelling it wrong and so I can’t find a listing.

If you know the prayer, could you please direct me to a site that would allow me to print out a copy of it?

Right now I can only listen to what they sing. Without the words I am unable to participate.

Thank you in advance for your response.

Agnus Dei???

Agnus Dei,
Qui tollis peccata mundi,
miserere nobis.

repeated 3 times with last line of third time “dona nobis pacem” instead of “miserere nobis.”

The Agnus Dei is before the ‘Ecce Agnus Dei’ and the ‘Domine non sum dignus’, the only prayer I have ever seen after the ‘Lord I am not worthy’ would be the confiteor (I confess), however since I am guessing you attended the OF, this is highly unlikely, so in short, I have no idea what prayer it could be

It’s around that time, though; the OP could have slightly confused “before” and “after” the “Domine, non sum dignus,” and Agnus Dei is indeed right before you kneel, and the phonetic similarity is pretty convincing

Yeah, the similarities with the Agnus Dei does sound right, hmm will have to wait for clarification.

@RastaPasta: Are you sure it was after the Domine non sum dignus and not before? if it was before it’s the Agnus Dei, if it was after, you’ve confused me, as no prayer I know in the OF or EF goes there apart from the Confiteor in SOME EF Masses.

I’ll have to go back to church in order to remember exactly where it occurs in the Mass that I attend. It’s actually an OF Mass, but the priest uses the Latin response in this one particular area. I know that it’s somewhere around the time they say “Lord I am not worthy etc.”, but am not sure if it comes before or after they say it.

I don’t speak Latin, nor do I attend a Latin Mass, and so I don’t know what the Domine non sum dignus is.

The Domine non sum dignus is “Lord, I am not worthy …”.

Anyway, the answers above are definitely right that you are thinking of the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God – please note that the gn in “Agnus” is pronounced like the gn in “lasagna,” and not like in the word “agnostic”). It goes:
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.
If I had to put money on it, I would guess that you are using this musical setting of the text. Listen to that and let me know if I’m right.

THAT’S IT!

I saved the link that you provided so that I can memorize it. Besides that, whoever is singing on that linked site does a heck of a better job than the folks that attend the early morning Mass at my parish.

Thanks to everyone that posted their reply.
