Rey' Ijesu None

"Rey' Ijesu None" is a deeply reverent Urhobo Communion hymn that invites the congregation to the Eucharistic table. The title translates to an earnest call to "Take Jesus Today," setting a tone of immediate, personal encounter with Christ during the Mass.

The lyrics focus beautifully on the sacrament, singing of "Ugboma v'obara ri Jesu" (the Body and Blood of Jesus) that cleanses and makes us holy. As the choir leads this piece during the Communion procession, the gentle, flowing solfa melody encourages a spirit of reflection and spiritual nourishment.

With its clear call to receive the Lord and its concluding "Ise o" (Amen), this hymn is a wonderful choice for Nigerian Catholic choirs looking to deepen the congregation's devotion during the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It reminds every singer and listener of the eternal life ("bede") promised to those who partake in the holy banquet.
