MOUGH NEN, SE SUGH NEN TER

This sheet brings together two distinct pieces by Leonard Tersoo, both sung in the Tiv language. The main piece, "Mough Nen, Se Sugh Nen Ter," is a vibrant Entrance hymn. Marked *Allegretto*, it calls the congregation to rise, rejoice, and welcome Christ the King with joyful Alleluias. It is exactly the kind of bright, rhythmic processional that lifts the spirit of the whole church as the altar servers and priest make their way down the aisle.

Tucked at the end of the score is a second, much shorter piece called "Ungwa Msen Wam" (Hear My Prayer). In contrast to the lively entrance, this is a gentle, flowing supplication marked *Grazioso*. The lyrics are a humble plea for God's mercy and a listening ear, with the singer acknowledging they have nowhere else to turn. Together, these two pieces give a choir both a triumphant call to worship and a tender, quiet moment of prayer.
