Albert Schweitzer's Prayer for Animals

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

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.
