Typically, Nyimbo za Chitsitsimutso would be organized for congregational ease—call-and-response pieces for opening worship, slow meditative hymns for prayer moments, and triumphant marching songs for benediction.

The hymns in this collection are characterized by deep theological themes revolving around the "Theology of the Cross" and eschatology (the study of end times). The songs rarely glorify human effort in revival;
3.1 Consolation in Grief The primary theme is comfort. The lyrics often acknowledge the pain of losing loved ones but swiftly pivot to the hope of resurrection and the assurance of heaven. This makes the book indispensable during Chigamulo (funeral services) in Malawi.
3.2 The Brevity of Life Many hymns in the book focus on the transient nature of human life. Using metaphors common in Chichewa/Chitumbuka oral tradition (such as withering grass or shifting shadows), the songs remind the singer that earth is not their permanent home.
3.3 Preparation for Eternity The book serves a didactic purpose, urging believers to live righteous lives in preparation for the "Great Journey" (death). Themes of judgment, grace, and the glories of the New Jerusalem are prevalent.

“Much like the other operating systems, you’ll have to install the font on the device in order to use it in Affinity Designer. However, fonts are not installed the same way on an iPad as they are on other desktop devices, and for several reasons.”
You do not have to install a font on your Apple iPad to use it in Affinity Designer. Affinity Designer for iPad supports importing fonts into the application itself from the “Fonts” submenu of the settings menu, provided the font is stored as a file that can be accessed by Designer.
