Ogo f'Olorun L'oke

"Ogo f'Olorun L'oke" is a vibrant Yoruba setting of the Gloria, bringing the ancient angelic hymn to life with rhythmic energy. Arranged by Micheal Omo, this piece is a staple for festive Masses, lifting the congregation's voices in praise right after the Penitential Rite. The recurring response of "Ògo" (Glory) anchors the song, making it easy for the assembly to join the choir in exalting God.

The verses beautifully trace the traditional liturgical text of the Gloria. We begin by blessing the Father and proclaiming peace on earth, before turning to Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God ("Ọdọ agutan"), asking for His mercy. Finally, the hymn draws us into the mystery of the Trinity, praising the Holy Spirit and culminating in a joyful "Alleluya" and "Hosanna." It is a wonderful choice for Sundays, solemnities, and any celebration where the choir wants to lead the church in full-throated thanksgiving.
