Daukaka Ga Allah by Daniel Ibrahim — Lyrics
About Daukaka Ga Allah
When the choir strikes up "Daukaka Ga Allah," the congregation knows it is time for joyful praise. Composed by Daniel Ibrahim, this lively Hausa setting of the Gloria brings a wonderful, rhythmic energy to the Mass. Marked *Allegro*, the music moves with a bright, driving pace that perfectly captures the exultation of the angels' song.
The piece is structured with a catchy, recurring refrain that anchors the choir and assembly, while the verses walk through the traditional text of the Gloria. From blessing and adoring the Father ("Muna yabon Ka") to seeking the mercy of the Lamb of God ("Ka yi mana jinkai"), the Hausa lyrics ground the ancient prayer in a deeply local expression of faith.
Choirs often bring this out on Sundays and feast days when the Gloria is sung with full voices and instrumentation. The final *Tutti* section builds to a strong, unified "Amin," leaving a lingering sense of celebration in the church before the Collect is prayed.
