ABINCI ALHERI

"Abinci Alheri" is a deeply reverent Hausa Communion hymn composed by Jude Nnam. The title translates to "Food of Grace," and the song captures the mystery and gift of the Eucharist. In the choir loft, this piece brings a profound sense of awe to the Communion rite, reminding the congregation that they are approaching the table to receive the true food of life prepared by God.

The verses walk us through the institution of the Eucharist, recounting how Christ took the bread and the cup, offering His Body and Blood for all people. As the song progresses, it calls on the faithful to come forward with pure and loving hearts to receive this gift. The gentle, flowing melody of the refrain makes it a perfect, prayerful accompaniment as the people process to the altar, inviting everyone to partake in the heavenly banquet that gives eternal life.
