Echoing imagery from Isaiah 61:1–2 and other passages, this text was created as an inclusive-language
alternative to an older hymn using this late 19th-century tune. Because it is a song of encouragement rather
than a song of praise, it is not directed to God but to people.

With its themes of bearing witness in the world, this lively sending song works especially well when sung in
canon. The tune name refers to a street parade with music that occurs in many Bahamian towns on Boxing
Day (December 26), New Year’s Day, and sometimes in the summer.

Because such a sending song has a place in many Christian traditions, several versions of both this text (based
on Isaiah 6:8) and tune can be found throughout South Africa. When desired, additional English stanzas can
be improvised in alternation with the original Zulu text.
