Huean Jesu

"Huean Jesu" is a deeply reverent Communion hymn composed by Atalakpa A. Henry. Sung in the Esan language, the piece is an expression of Eucharistic devotion, centering on the holiness of Christ and the profound joy of receiving Him at the altar. The recurring invocation of "Huean Jesu" (Holy Jesus) anchors the choir and congregation in a moment of quiet adoration.

During the Communion rite, this hymn brings a sense of profound peace to the church. The lyrics speak of the sweetness and gladness that comes from this holy encounter, with phrases like "O bhe' don mhen" capturing the inner joy of the communicant. As the choir moves through the verses and the harmonised "Ise" (Amen) at the close, it invites everyone into a space of gratitude and spiritual renewal.
