Egbe Bia Raen Nosi Jese

"Egbe Bia Raen Nosi Jese" is a reverent Esan communion hymn that draws the congregation into the mystery of the Eucharist. With lyrics by Valentine Aziegbe and music by Charles Omoruyi, the piece centers entirely on the Body and Blood of Jesus, offering a profound moment of reflection for the choir and the faithful as they approach the altar.

The structure of the song is simple but deeply effective, moving from the solemn verses into a shared refrain before returning to the core message of the chorus. In the final verse, the hymn shifts into a faithful Esan translation of the Glory Be ("Gaelen Abba, bi Omo, b'Elinmhin Nokhiale"), grounding the Eucharistic feast in praise of the Holy Trinity.

For a choir preparing for Mass, this piece serves perfectly during the Communion rite. The steady, prayerful rhythm of the solfa notation allows the voices to blend naturally, creating a sense of peace in the church. It is a wonderful choice for feast days like Corpus Christi or any Sunday where the choir wants to lead the parish in a quiet, focused meditation on the sacrament.
