Let us go to the house of the Lord

"Let us go to the house of the Lord" is a vibrant, welcoming entrance hymn composed by Cosmos Onyiba. Drawing its inspiration from the familiar words of Psalm 122, the piece captures the sheer gladness of gathering for worship. With its brisk, joyful tempo, it sets an uplifting tone from the very first note, inviting the congregation to leave their weekly cares behind and step into the sanctuary with praise.

The arrangement is structured with four distinct verses that build a sense of anticipation, leading into a unifying, full-voiced refrain. For the choir, the steady marching rhythm provides a wonderful foundation for the procession down the aisle, keeping everyone in step as Mass begins. The lyrics speak of seeking mercy, singing with heavenly hosts, and clapping with joy. This makes the piece an ideal choice for festive Sundays and grand liturgical celebrations where the spirit of thanksgiving is front and center, uniting the voices in the loft with the people in the pews.
