Words: Peggy Hill Ryskamp, b. 1949

All over the world at the end of day,
Heavenly Father's children kneel down adn pray,
Each saying thank you in his own special way,
Saying thank you, thank you in his own special way.

Gracias.

Malo.

Wir danken dir.

All over the world tender voices hear.

Some say "tak",

others "merci",

"Kansha shimasu",

we thank thee.

Our Heavenly Father hears them;
He understands each tongue.

Our Heavenly Father knows them;
He loves them,
loves them,
everyone.
