Dara Yuñ Toro Oboñ

"Dara Yuñ Toro Oboñ" is a vibrant Efik hymn of thanksgiving and praise, calling the congregation to rejoice and bless the Lord for His enduring goodness. The lyrics reflect a deep gratitude to the Almighty (Akw'Abasi) for the gifts of life, strength, and peace, inviting everyone to lift their voices in joyful song.

Often sung as a recessional hymn as the Mass concludes, the piece sends the faithful out into the world with a spirit of celebration. The verses build a lively momentum, weaving together shouts of "Hosanna" and "Halleluia" with rhythmic calls to sing, play instruments, and declare God's marvelous works. For choirs, especially in the Calabar region where this arrangement finds its roots, it is a spirited and uplifting way to close the liturgy, leaving the church echoing with praise.
