BLESSED TANSI ANTHEM by Anaele Chukwuebuka Romanus F — Lyrics
About BLESSED TANSI ANTHEM
When a choir prepares for the feast of Blessed Cyprian Michael Iwene Tansi, they look for music that captures his deep devotion and his profound impact on the faithful in Nigeria. This anthem is a direct, earnest prayer set to four-part harmony. It asks God for the grace to mirror Blessed Tansi’s life—spending our days loving God, serving the Church, and caring for our neighbours.
The lyrics flow much like a collect from the Mass. The piece opens by praising God for the gifts given to this faithful instrument of evangelization, before moving into a humble petition for his intercession. Singing this piece feels like lifting up a collective parish prayer, asking for the specific favours the community needs through Christ.
It is especially fitting for his feast day on January 20th, or as a patronal hymn for any parish named in his honour. For the singers in the loft and the congregation listening below, it offers a quiet, steady moment to reflect on the holy example of one of Nigeria's own beloved spiritual figures.
