This is also what I do when I'm jotting something down and don't ahve staff paper to hand or time to draw five parallel lines
Yes, I grew up with something similar in Canada. Ta = crochet, ti ti = two quavers, etc. Good for a blackboard, terrible for a typewriter.
I should really learn properly the punctuation marks for rhythmic information. The Luganda hymnal I play from ~monthly has them, but I've been sortof going on a combination of vibes, what the congregation does, and tunes I already know.
That third line should be: so, la, mi re fi, so, I'm not aware of any hymn tunes with a leap of a major 16th like that, I just can't type.

...and now I see the terrible typo where my la got a ' instead of a , typing is hard
That's what the commas are for! I also tried it in the other octave using ' marks instead but it's a bit swings and roundabouts.
The chorus wouldn't fit. You can probably work it out for yourself if you can read the solfa and recognise the tune, though.
