Anyone know these Agnus Dei lyrics? (Latin, extended)

[Daniel9v9]

I was wondering if anyone knew the lyrics to Agnus Dei (Worcester?).
It seems to include parts of Credo or Gloria or something.

If you have Spotify you can check it out here:
A Worcester Ladymass: Agnus Dei

By the way, sorry for posting this here - I know there's a Music section, but I figured I'd have more luck here and it's really the theology that I'm interested in. It's a very beautiful song, however.

The Agnus Dei is a standard part of the Mass, so the lyrics are set as the following:
What Does the English Translation of "Agnus Dei" Mean?
Latin
Agnus Dei, qui tolis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tolis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tolis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.

English
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

This recording is of a group called Trio Mediaeval, three Swedish women. It seems the album name of "A Worcester Ladymass" is new to them, so I had to look up a review to find the original source material.

Music review: Trio Mediaeval’s ‘Worcester Ladymass’

Historically, this tradition generally excluded women, which gives a subversive twist to contemporary women’s embrace of it. “A Worcester Ladymass,” Trio Mediaeval’s newest album, isn’t the first example of women taking on music that was written to honor the Virgin Mary — a wildly popular object of veneration in pre-Protestant England — and shifting its focus slightly by singing it themselves. Anonymous 4, for instance, released “An English Ladymass” as long ago as 1993. Nuns also performed Lady Masses, but the scraps of music assembled for Trio Mediaeval’s current project came from a 13th-century Benedictine monastery and were sung by men.

Trio Mediæval is actually Norwegian, but close enough! Though one of the singers is Swedish born, so you're partly right.

Thanks for the link with the explanation on ladymass, however. I'm familiar with Agnus Dei, but I was wondering what the additions they made to the lyrics were. The link explains their addition, but it doesn't seem to say what exactly the words are. However, learning that it's a modern interpolation, it kind of answers my question, for I was really wondering where these bits came from.

Thank you!

I am not sure about in the 13th century, but later in the late Middle ages, tropes became very prevalent in Mass parts. The cantor could make up their own embellishments to "make it their own". Soon they became so long and flowery that they significantly lengthened the Mass time. This is discouraged today except in certain long "sequences" that are still sung.
