ORA KENE IKE JESU

"Ora Kene Ike Jesu" is a triumphant Igbo translation of the classic hymn "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." The song is a grand call to worship, inviting all of creation—from the angels in heaven to every nation and language on earth—to recognize the majesty of Christ. With its resounding chorus of "Bia mee Ya Eze Oha" (Come crown Him Lord of all), it carries a deep sense of reverence and victory.

In Nigerian parishes, this hymn is a staple for the Feast of Christ the King. Choirs often lead it as a powerful entrance or recessional hymn, setting a tone of joyful adoration. The verses build a vivid picture of the heavenly court, urging the congregation to join the saints in falling at His feet and offering eternal praise. It is a piece that naturally lifts the voices of the faithful, uniting the church in a shared declaration of Christ's eternal reign.
