PRAYER.

Hear my prayer, O Lord, my God of heaven,

Grant me I beseech Thee, O Lord,

Send Thy holy spirit into all the needy hearts,

In the whole wide world around,

Convince them of sin, give them the holy spirit,

O that they may be kind and tender

To the poor harmless dumb creatures,

They cannot speak, nor help themselves,

O Lord, prepare the inhabitants of the earth

To live in this world and in the world to come.

O Lord, I beseech Thee, protect me from committing sin,

O Lord, help me to watch and pray,

O Lord, I give Thee thanks for what blessings I have,

O Lord, can thou deliver me from sickness, trouble and trials?

O Lord, stand my friend in this world and in the world to come.

O Lord, that the professing inhabitants may not fall back

And go to sinning again. O that they may be true Christians,

The holy spirit, love and tender kindness for dumb creatures

And human too, love God and land in heaven,

O Lord, enable me to have the holy spirit all the days of my life,

O Lord, grant me I beseech Thee,

I pray for Thy kingdom to come, to destroy all sin,

For the poor harmless dumb creatures,

And for sick human too.

And for all the troubled in the wide world round,

Human and dumb creatures too,

For thine is the kingdom and the glory forever. Amen.
