Do Rhie'vare

"Do Rhie'vare" is a warm and inviting Communion hymn sung in the Edo language. The title translates to "Come and partake," setting a welcoming tone for the congregation as they approach the altar. With its gentle, flowing melody, the piece captures the quiet joy and reverence of the Eucharistic banquet, urging the faithful to "taste and see that the Lord is good."

Choir directors often choose this piece for the Communion procession because of its deeply reassuring message. The verses offer a beautiful promise to the communicants: anyone who calls on God and stands with Jesus will never be lost, but will find lasting peace, happiness, and redemption. It is a comforting reminder of the spiritual nourishment received at the Lord's table, making it a beloved choice for Sunday Mass.
