E Noyeamwan 'Wese

"E Noyeamwan 'Wese" is a vibrant Edo thanksgiving anthem that calls the congregation to praise God with deep joy. Composed by Ihaza Ikponmwosa V., the song centers on profound gratitude to Osalobua (God) and Jesus Christ for the gift of salvation. From the opening call to rejoice, the piece sets a tone of celebration, reminding the faithful of Christ's sacrifice and his coming to save humanity.

In the liturgy, this piece shines brightest during the Offertory. As the choir leads the repeated, rhythmic phrases of "Uwese" (Thank you) and "Wa gima rie kponmwen no'Salobua" (Let us give thanks to God), it naturally accompanies the procession of gifts. The interwoven vocal parts create a lively, uplifting atmosphere in the church, encouraging everyone to join in the thanksgiving. It captures the essence of Edo Catholic worship, where faith is expressed through energetic, heartfelt praise.
