KA EBUBE GI CHINEKE JUPUTA...

"Ka Ebube Gị Chineke Juputa" is a majestic Igbo hymn of dedication, calling on God’s glory to fill His sanctuary. Composed specifically for the dedication of a parish church and the feast of All Saints, the lyrics ask the Lord to make the building a truly holy place—a space where the congregation can encounter His presence. The verses draw on powerful biblical imagery, recalling how God revealed His glory to Moses on holy ground, and praying that the smoke of incense might carry the people's offerings to heaven.

For a choir, this piece shines brightest during the Entrance procession or the rites of Consecration. The melody moves with a steady, reverent dignity, allowing the four-part harmony to build a sense of awe. As the choir sings of God's word being spirit and life, the music invites the whole congregation into a deep awareness of the sacred. It is a wonderful choice for feast days, church anniversaries, or any Mass where the focus is on the holiness of God's dwelling place among His people.
