Euthanasia

Prayer for the Animals / 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.
