EDA K'UKOT ENO YE UBONG

"Eda K'ukot Eno Ye Ubong" is a vibrant Efik entrance hymn that calls the entire congregation to their feet in joyful worship. With a title that translates to "Arise and give Him Glory," the song serves as a powerful gathering procession. The lyrics invite everyone to come and see Jesus, the light of the world ("uwana"), setting a tone of reverence and celebration right at the start of the Mass.

The verses expand this invitation to all corners of the community. It calls on Zion to rejoice, praising God who sits on His throne, and specifically gathers the rich and the poor, the elders and the youth, to receive God's blessing in His house. For a choir, this piece offers a lively, rhythmic march that naturally carries the clergy and altar servers down the aisle, uniting the voices of the faithful in a shared declaration of praise.
