NGOHOL YUA NE TER

"Ngohol Yua Ne Ter" is a bright and earnest Tiv offertory hymn, composed as an entry for the 2023 FILM festival by the Queen of Angels Choir at the University of Jos. The words "Ngohol Yua Ne Ter" carry a plea for the Lord to receive the gifts being presented, setting a tone of humble thanksgiving that fits perfectly during the offertory procession at Mass.

The lyrics capture the feeling of a sincere, joyful offering. The choir asks God what they can possibly give to thank Him for His goodness, acknowledging that their gift is not large—singing "Ikehe ga"—but that it comes entirely from the heart. As the verses unfold, the singers express their joy and ask the Lord to hear their prayers and grant them grace.

Musically, the piece is structured to engage the whole choir, with a lively chorus and verses that feature call-and-response elements between the voice parts. The final verse highlights the tenors and basses before the sopranos and altos join in a unified declaration of praise. It is a wonderful choice for any choir looking to bring a spirit of genuine gratitude to the altar.
