Mai Tsarki Mai Tsarki

"Mai Tsarki Mai Tsarki" is a reverent Hausa setting of the Sanctus, the great hymn of praise sung just before the Eucharistic Prayer. When the choir leads the congregation in singing "Ubangiji Allah mai runduna" (Lord God of hosts), it unites the local church with the heavenly chorus. The familiar words of the Mass take on a deep, resonant warmth in Hausa, grounding the liturgy in the voice of the people.

The arrangement is straightforward and uplifting, designed to carry the whole church into the mystery of the Eucharist without overcomplicating the moment. The joyful repetition of "Hosanna Cikin Sama" builds a steady, rhythmic anticipation that echoes through the pews. As the voices transition into "Mai Albarka ne" to welcome the one who comes in the name of the Lord, the mood shifts to a focused reverence, preparing everyone for the consecration. It is a wonderful choice for Sunday Mass, allowing the faithful to lift their voices together and enter fully into the solemnity of the liturgy.
