Wot Woh Bere

"Wot Woh Bere" is a vibrant sending-forth song composed by Edwin N. Gambo, often sung to conclude the Mass with a spirit of mission and joy. Written in the Berom language, the text carries a message of stepping out into the world to proclaim the goodness of God. It is a wonderful choice for recessional processions, especially among university choirs and youth congregations in Plateau State, where its energetic rhythm naturally lifts the steps of the singers and the faithful as they head out of the church doors.

The song is structured with a lively, repeating chorus that anchors the piece, followed by verses that serve as a prayer for guidance and peace. The first verse asks the Lord to direct our path with His light, while the second prays for His peace to reign on earth and bless the work of our hands. As the piece draws to a close, it transitions into a warm coda—a final, harmonized plea asking God to bless, save, keep, and guide us all. For a choir, mastering the rhythmic bounce of the solfa notation brings out the true celebratory character of this dismissal hymn, sending the congregation home with a renewed sense of purpose.
