Urinrin Dia K'Oghene

"Urinrin Dia K'Oghene" is a vibrant Urhobo setting of the Gloria, the great hymn of praise sung during the introductory rites of the Mass. From the very first notes, the refrain bursts with joyful adoration, declaring "Urinrin dia k'Oghene vwo be nu" (Glory to God in the highest). It is a piece that immediately lifts the spirit of the congregation, inviting everyone to join the choir in celebrating God's majesty and the peace promised to His people.

The verses are thoughtfully arranged to carry the ancient text of the Gloria in the Urhobo language. As the choir moves through the stacked verses, the melody guides the faithful through the different movements of the prayer—from blessing and adoring the Father, to pleading for the mercy of the Son, and finally culminating in the glorification of the Holy Trinity. It is a wonderful choice for festive Sunday Masses and solemnities, bringing a deep sense of cultural reverence and lively worship to the liturgy.
