Edisana Esit Jesus & Soul of My Saviour

This choral sheet brings together two deeply reverent hymns often sung during the Communion rite. The first, "Edisana Esit Jesus" (Sacred Heart of Jesus), is a heartfelt Efik prayer that asks the Lord to hear the voices of His children and guide them on the path of righteousness. With its gentle, pleading chorus of "Daha do mbok" (Arise, please), it creates a profound sense of devotion and surrender in the choir loft, preparing the congregation to receive the Eucharist.

Following this is a beloved classic, "Soul of My Saviour," a setting of the ancient Anima Christi prayer. The verses move from a plea for sanctification—"wash me with water flowing from thy side"—to a prayer for ultimate protection and eternal rest. Sung together, these two pieces bridge local Nigerian language and universal Catholic tradition, offering a continuous meditation on the Body and Blood of Christ.
