Let Us Go In Peace

"Let Us Go In Peace" is a joyful, straightforward recessional hymn that sends the congregation out with a clear mission. Composed by Chukwujiekwu Nnene, it captures the exact moment the Mass concludes, turning the final dismissal into a vibrant choral celebration.

The verses are simple but deeply effective, moving from a call to spread the word of the Lord to a reminder to share God's love with all nations. The third verse, "Oh child of light, shine your light to the world," is especially beautiful, encouraging the faithful to carry the light of the Eucharist out into their daily lives.

Choirs will appreciate the bright, rhythmic Alleluias in the refrain. It is an ideal piece for the end of Sunday Mass, leaving the people uplifted and ready to live out the Gospel they have just heard.
