EYEN ERONG ABASI

"Eyen Erong Abasi" is a reverent Efik setting of the Agnus Dei, composed by Rev. Fr. Felix Ekpe as part of his Mass of Faith. In the Catholic liturgy, this piece is sung during the breaking of the bread, right before Communion. The words call on Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world.

The arrangement uses a gentle, pleading melody that builds into an earnest refrain. The choir sings "Tua nnyin mbon" (have mercy on us), repeating the petition with deep devotion. For the third and final invocation, the text shifts to "No nnyin emem," asking the Lord to grant the congregation peace as they prepare to approach the altar. It is a solemn, grounding piece for a choir to lead during the fraction rite.
