Ojima Ch'eyi Ojo

"Ojima Ch'eyi Ojo" is a vibrant Igala setting of the Gloria, composed by Jude Nnam. The title translates to "Glory belongs to God," capturing the joyful essence of the angelic hymn. Sung right after the Penitential Rite, this piece lifts the congregation into a spirit of festive praise, setting a bright tone for the rest of the Mass.

The arrangement moves with an energetic, rhythmic pulse that is characteristic of Nigerian liturgical music. As the choir sings through the familiar verses—praising, blessing, and adoring God the Father, and crying out to Jesus Christ the Lamb of God—the lively melody encourages the whole church to join in the celebration. It is a wonderful choice for Sunday Masses, feast days, and any occasion where the choir wants to lead the people in a full-hearted song of thanksgiving.
