HOLY! HOLY!! HOLY!!! (Hosanna) by Ekoyo Chikaodiri Emma — Lyrics
About HOLY! HOLY!! HOLY!!! (Hosanna)
"HOLY! HOLY!! HOLY!!! (Hosanna)" is a vibrant, rhythmic setting of the Sanctus, arranged by Chikaodiri Emma Ekoyo. Sung during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, this piece transforms the traditional acclamation into an energetic and joyful proclamation. The arrangement builds from a steady, reverent opening into a lively celebration of God's glory.
What makes this setting particularly engaging for Nigerian choirs is the interactive "Let me hear you saying oh!" lead-in, which cues a cascading, syncopated series of "Hosannas." This call-to-praise naturally lifts the spirit of the congregation, turning the moment before the Eucharistic Prayer into a true chorus of heavenly worship. The second verse seamlessly integrates the "Benedictus" ("Blessed is He who comes..."), maintaining the joyful momentum right up to the final praise.
