Naahanna! (Hallele!)

"Naahanna! (Hallele!)" is a vibrant recessional hymn that sends the congregation forth with a powerful blessing. Written as a closing prayer, the song asks God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to heal, protect, and guide the people as they depart in peace. The energetic "Hallele" sections give the piece a joyful, celebratory feel, perfect for the end of Mass when the choir and congregation are filled with the spirit of thanksgiving.

In the choir loft, this piece shines through its rhythmic drive and layered harmonies. The verses call on everyone to go out into the world and spread the good news of God's love ("K'anyị jebe n'ụwa niine gbusaa pụọ oziọma nke Chukwu"). As a dismissal anthem, it captures the essence of the liturgical sending forth, turning the final moments of the service into a dynamic declaration of faith and readiness to carry the Gospel into the week ahead.
