Usually it is the church song which is incorporated into the folk culture. In the Sotho language: "I also like to see the Angels on Mount Zion, with all the blessed people." This is from The OK Chorale's second public concert in March 2013 at St. Mary's Church, Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK.  

Sing joyfully to God our strength; sing loud unto the God of Jacob! Take the song, bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harp, and the viol. Blow the trumpet in the new moon, even in the time appointed, and at our feast day. ...  moreSing joyfully to God our strength; sing loud unto the God of Jacob!
