`n eend prys die Heer
`n eend prys die Heer,
`n eend prys die \Heer,
Het jy al gehoor `n eend prys die Heer?
En dit is wat hy se...

5. Al (dong, blub, miaau, kwaak)



Yes that's right the Afrikaans for 'Quack' is 'Kwaak'

You can find out how it sounds by going over to this web site

Two websites on the front page of google's 'My name is quack quack' both Christian.

Coincidence?

Or message from God??????

That's genius! We should have a service for the ducks that inhabit Highfield Campus and indeed, any other ducks that fancy joining in and singing along.

And now even ducks from Sehth Ehfrika can take part!

Presumably there's a verse for sheep. But not for goats.

Thank you for honoring us by mentioning our song in your blog!

Theologically (High Church), the chorus is a magnificent poetical statement summarizing the wonderful way that all Creation gives praise back to their Creator.

From a simpler (Low Church) perspective, it's just a totally CRAZY song that kid's from South Africa to India love to sing!

Your partner in the service of Christ,

Not sure what that duck would sound like in the Urdu language, but a children's choir in Pakistan is singing about it. Go take a look at their photo! http://newhopemusic.com/index.small/translations.urd.htm
