The hymn-book was written in the language of the people the Sechuana language and Shomolekae taught them from the book to sing hymns. The music was the sol-fa notation. This is one of the hymns: 1. "Yesu oa me oa nthata, Leha ke le mo dibin; A re yalo mo kwalon, A re yalo mo pedun. E, Yesu oa me, E, Yesu oa me, E, Yesu oa me, Oa me, mo loraton.
But, you see, the missionary had to alter the words sometimes so as to make the Sechuana lines come right for the music; and the second verse really means: "My Jesus loves me; He has paid my debt; He has brought me back from where I strayed; He has washed my heart. Yes, my Jesus, Yes, my Jesus. Yes, my Jesus. Mine in love."
