3. LAMB OF GOD:
Now: Lamb of God, you who take away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Lamb of God, you who take away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Lamb of God, you who take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

New: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

The New part is actually different from: "This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to His feast." As far as I understand, the Agnus Dei doesn't change.

**New: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

The New part is actually different from: “This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to His feast.”**

To me, this is the most beautiful part of the entire translation!
