This Sunday is the final one of Easter season, Pentecost, when we observe the gift of the Holy Ghost and the commissioning of the disciples which by extension also relates to the task we have of being sent out. The hymns suggested include a South African one with the first verse in the Xhosa language used by Zulus. The second verse provides an English version of the text.
