KU ZO MU BAYAR

"Ku Zo Mu Bayar" is a lively Hausa offertory hymn that calls the congregation to bring their gifts to the altar. The title acts as an invitation to come and give from what God has already provided. The lyrics explicitly mention bringing bread and wine ("Ga brodi da wain") before the Lord, acknowledging that He gave us life freely out of His goodness. It is a joyful piece, marked *Allegretto*, making it an excellent choice to accompany the procession of gifts during Mass.

Romanus D. Pius arranges this with a rhythmic, call-and-response feel between the verses and the refrain. The score includes specific performance notes, directing the choir to interleave the short refrain ("Ai Ubangiji Allah mai girma ne" — The Lord God is great) between the verse segments before returning to the main chorus. Choirs will enjoy the energetic tempo and the clear, uplifting message of gratitude that drives the Offertory procession.
