IKE EUCHARISTỊA DỊ ASỌ by Virgilus C. Eze — Lyrics
About IKE EUCHARISTỊA DỊ ASỌ
"Ike Eucharistia Dị Asọ" is a vibrant Igbo Catholic hymn that celebrates the profound mystery and strength found in Holy Communion. Composed by Virgilus C. Eze, the piece was originally written as a choice piece for an inter-house music competition at Bigard Memorial Seminary. It carries a lively, majestic energy, calling the faithful to recognize the life-giving power present in the bread and wine turned into the Body and Blood of Christ.
The song is a natural fit for Communion, as its verses reflect deeply on the Eucharistic mystery—reminding us that Christ offers Himself to diminish our hunger for sin and grant eternal life. The recurring chorus, with its emphatic "Ike, ike, ike" (Power, power, power), builds a sense of awe and joyful conviction. For a choir and congregation, it transforms the solemn act of receiving Communion into a dynamic declaration of faith, urging every "nwa nne m" (brother and sister) to approach the altar and receive this holy strength.
