Jackie Evancho Sings "Pie Jesu"

In this performance on America's Got Talent, ten-year-old Jackie Evancho flawlessly sings Andrew Lloyd Webber's arrangement of "Pie Jesu". What an absolutely angelic voice!

The finale performances of "America's Got Talent" air tonight at 9 p.m. on NBC. The winner will be announced Wednesday.



Here is another version of this beautiful song.



Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu,
Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu,
Qui tollis peccata mundi;
Dona eis requiem,
Dona eis requiem.

Angus Dei, Angus Dei,
Angus Dei, Angus Dei,
Qui tollis peccata mundi;
Dona eis requiem,
Dona eis requiem.
Sempiternam, sempiternam requiem.

English translation

Lord, have mercy,
Lord, have mercy,
You who take away the sins of the world;
Grant them rest,
Grant them rest.

Lamb of God, Lamb of God,
Lamb of God, Lamb of God,
You who take away the sins of the world;
Grant them rest,
Grant them rest.
Everlasting, everlasting, rest.

This made me cry. How beautiful beyond words and what a gift this little girl has received from the Lord.

Laudatur Iesus Christi!
