- Description: The hymn is typical of those which are now being compiled by separatist congregations. Most of the melodies have been absorbed, digested and handed on in the oral folk tradition, so that it is now nearly impossible to trace their parentage. With each succeeding generation they appear to become more and more African in spirit and execution. 2 Hymns

- Description: There was once a Chief who had a favourite wife to whom he gave a calabash. Now this Chief disappeared. One day she with the calabash, she found herself sailing down the river in it, and as she sang: "Ulushimi lwa mukashana ne nsupa ya mfunu." She sailed amongst the fish, some of which wanted to eat her. But she sang to them and they let her go. Afterwards she fell amongst crocodiles. But they too let her go when she sang to them and eventually she found herself in a village and gave it to the chief and put her in a hut where she was badly bitten by insects. However she did not kill any of them, as she was a kind and gentle woman. Then the chief sent word that she must come and undergo a test. Which was to pick out her own calabash from amongst many others. As she went one of the insects said to her: "Choose that calabash you see a fly settle on." So, when she swa all the calabashes spread out before her, she waited for a fly to settle on one. It settled on the smallest and she picked it up and said: "This is mine." Whereon the chief came out of his hut and to her amazement it was her own husband who said: "Now I know this is my own wife, because she recogonizes the calabash I once gave her." Isimi story with song.
