Prayer
for the Animals
by
Albert Schweitzer
Hear
our humble prayer, O God, for our friends, the animals.
Especially
for animals who are suffering; for any that are
hunted
or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry;
for
all that must be put to death.
We
entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity,
and
for those who deal with them, we ask a
a
heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make
us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals,
and
so to share the blessings of the merciful.
