Rejoice Mass is Ended

When the final blessing is given and the priest says, "Go in peace, the Mass is ended," the choir needs a song that captures both the joy of the celebration and the mission that follows. "Rejoice Mass is Ended" by Ifeanyichukwu Eze does exactly that. It is a bright, energetic recessional piece that sends the congregation out with a clear sense of purpose.

The lyrics remind us that our duty does not stop at the church doors. As we sing about going home to "serve the Lord" and "spreading the good news wherever man is found," the music takes on a marching, joyful quality. The second verse is especially moving, calling each singer a "child of light" tasked with distributing Jesus to every heart. It is a wonderful reminder of our everyday calling.

Choirs will enjoy the lively, rhythmic flow of the solfa notation, which builds up to a resounding "Alleluia Amen." It is the kind of closing hymn that leaves everyone feeling uplifted and ready to carry the spirit of the Mass into the new week.
