Oma R'Ikristi

"Oma R'Ikristi" is a deeply reverent Urhobo hymn that draws the congregation into the mystery of the Eucharist. The words echo the institution narrative, inviting the faithful to partake in the sacred meal. When the choir sings "Onan' ugboma me wa rio, Ọnan' ọbara me wa da," it evokes the solemn moment of consecration and the call to receive the Lord.

We often bring this piece out during Communion, as its gentle, flowing solfa arrangement allows for a prayerful atmosphere in the church. The verses speak of welcoming God into our hearts and asking for peace and salvation. It is a fitting choice for choirs looking to enrich their repertoire with an indigenous meditation on the Blessed Sacrament, helping the congregation approach the altar with a spirit of deep devotion.
