                      WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY STAIN.


                                    1
    Ikta kumtux mash siah
      Konaway nesika masat-chie,
    Ikta kumtux mamook delate
      Konaway nesika tumtum.

        Kopet Jesus pilpil
          Wash nika kaw-kwa snow;
        O hyas klosh pilpil,
          Halo hul-oima ikta.

                                    2
    Ikta mamook Jesus mash
      An-kutte yahka pilpil?
    Yahka tikke mamook delate
      Konaway nesika tumtum.




                                   41
                    NOW THE CHAINS OF SIN ARE BROKEN.


                                    1
    Alta nika kopet masat-chie,
      Alta klosh nika tumtum;
    Jesus, yahka waw-waw klosh

        Hallelujah! hallelujah!

          Jesus hyas tikke nika.

                                    2

    Yahka potlatch klosh tumtum
      Kopa konaway-klaxta.




                                   42
                            SWEET BY-AND-BYE.


                                    1

      Yahka potlatch konaway-iktah kopa nesika




                                   43
                         THERE IS A HAPPY LAND.


                                    1
